When it was taken from London to Moscow by air, a storm warning was issued. A thunderstorm with a hurricane wind pulled out trees. The airliner carrying the icon could not land. The staff was prepared for an emergency landing and evacuation of the passengers at Sheremetyevo-2 airport, the Zhizn (Life) daily writes on Tuesday. The pilots made the final round over the capital. Suddenly the downpour stopped, the wind abated and the sun began to shine. Everybody on board was certain that the Mother of God prevented the death of the people. Here is the rest of the article: http://www.interfax-religion.com/?act=news&div=886 Most Holy Theotokos, pray for us!

The news about the spiritual and earthly lives of Russians is so dismall today that one can only rejoice and hope for the conversions of souls. May the holy saints of Russia intercede on behalf of her children who desperately need to find God. Though more than 50% identify themselves as Orthoodox Christians the majority of this group does not partake in any sacrament or worship. Infact, one Greek American physician I met from North Carolina at a Byzantine chant seminar my parish hosted for a night said that when he brings up Orthodoxy to his Russian patients, they mostly snicker sarcastically. In Christ, Alice
