The car religious procession “Russia under the Intercession” visited Blagoveshchensktranslated

On August 18, Blagoveshchensk visited the automobile religious procession “Russia under the Intercession”, which travels from Moscow to Sakhalin across all of Russia in seven cars.

Participants in the procession travel with a large icon of the Mother of God “Three Hands”, an icon of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and an icon “Patron Saints of Entrepreneurs”. Among those depicted on the latter is the Monk Seraphim of Vyritsky, who before becoming a monk was engaged in the fur trade.

In cities along the route, under the auspices of the Orthodox Church, screenings of a film about saint-entrepreneurs are held, to which believers from the business community are invited. Participants in the religious procession pay special attention to visiting hospitals.

Initially, the route did not include a stop in Blagoveshchensk. However, the main custodians of the icons - master of sports in freestyle wrestling, world champion in Brazilian jiu-jitsu Mikhail Kipriyanov from Yakutia and honored master of sports in boxing Timofey (Tair) Kelekhsaev from Ossetia - decided to visit their friends from the Boxing Federation of the Amur Region.
