It was brought by His Eminence Archbishop Michael of Geneva and Western Europe, who performed a first moleben to the Mother of God and St Vladimir at 10 am at the Church of St Roch. Over the course of the entire day, the icon was available for veneration for the faithful of the Cote d’Azur, Russia, Germany and the US. His Eminence then spoke about the history of the holy image to all those gathered, and over the course of the day gave several sermons. At 7 pm, a farewell moleben was performed for those who could not attend during working hours.

The following day, Archbishop Michael continued his travels with the Kursk-Root Icon to the Orthodox parishes of Western Europe before departing for Paris.

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.
