Many many thanks to all those who contributed to match a generous $3000 donation from an anonymous donor. The goal was attained this past weekend. It is because of people like you that the Mystagogy Resource Center can continue to offer unique material to all for free on a daily basis that I hope people find beneficial. For those who still wish to contribute, please do so, with much gratitude in return. God bless you all!

A Big Procession With A BIG Icon


A Procession with the icon of the All Merciful Savior in Tutaev on 1 August 2010. The route of the procession was over 5 kilometres (3 miles).

The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ (1652-1678) is considered to be one of the finest specimens of old Russian architecture. It is a real gem in the crown of excellent masterpieces of the best Russian architects. The unique miracle-working icon "The Image of the Savior the Merciful" is kept there. According to tradition, the icon was drawn in the beginning of 15th century by Dionisy Glushitsky.
