I received my shipment of relics today, and wanted to thank you. They are BEAUTIFUL. And the certificates are beautiful too. Thank you for carefully packaging everything with such care (relics in a wooden treasure box and certificates in clear plastic). These relics are indeed a treasure and will be honored tonight when I pray vespers. I will be definitely be looking to buy more relics from the Russian Store in the future.

Fr. Jean-Baptiste, Italy

Мощи получил в целости и сохранности! Дай Бог здравия и благоденствия ребятам доставившим святыню в Россию! Ещё раз благодарю Вас за ту радость которую вы подарили мне и нашей обители в мощах святого Бенедикта. Храни Вас Христос!

The icon of Our Lady of Unexpected Joy arrived a couple hours ago, and I am delighted with it; beautiful workmanship and beautiful story that I very much find compelling. Thank you...it has a good home here with a candle burning in front of it. Be safe and be well.

Russian Icon - the Severed Head of St. John the Baptist, the Forerunner of Christ

The icon depicts the Severed Head of Saint John the Baptist, known in Russia as "Saint John the Forerunner", the forerunner of Christ, the last of the prophets, and the first Christian saint. A popular and much-venerated figure in Orthodox iconography, Saint John was beheaded under the order of King Herod who wished to please Salome, daughter of the king's lover Herodias, whom the Baptist had reproached for her adultery. The severed head of the saint is depicted on the platter shrunken in the sleep of death. God the Father shown in the upper left corner is blessing it from Heavens.
