December 5, 2014. The “Deliveress” Holy Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos was miraculously discovered near the village of Tashla in the Samara region in 1917.

It has been kept at a local church since. The participants of the religious procession will carry the replica of the miraculous icon throughout Russia. Several miracles have already occurred following a heartfelt prayer before the replica.

The All-Russian religious procession was organized by the Volzhsky Military Cossacks Society with the blessing of His Holiness, Patriarch Kirill, of Moscow and All Russia. It has been visiting inhabited localities in the Volga region for over one year. Virtually every day the procession comes to yet another church – Service of Intercession, Akathist, and an overnight stay. The participants bring the icon to every inhabited locality where there is a church.

The Nizhny Novgorod metropolia’s website has reported that the Tashla replica has already been to the Gorodets and Lyskovo dioceses in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The participants of the religious procession will cross the territory of the dioceses of Nizhny Novgorod and Vyksa this month. After that, they will have the Christmas holiday.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
