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!

Just to inform you… The relic of St Pope John Paul found its way home today… I’ll contact you again shortly after our joy and excitement subsides … God reward you and The Russian Store

Fr. Gregory

The relic came in. I wanted to cry. My heart was so overwhelmed with joy. On my 25th anniversary the Discalsed Monastery celebrated mass with me in their cloister. The Mother Prioress with the sisters came be a hard bound copy of his writings and his life. I feel it was the hand of Blessed Francisco was moving them. And with this holy relic he is moving me. I will do a more intensive study of him. I will place his relic in the large reliquary I have with John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, and Therese of Liseaux. He will be at home.

We received the beautiful reliquary with the relic and thank you for letting us spend many months making payments to acquire this relic. Have a blessed week.

Fr. John Vice Batarelo

I just wanted to let you know that that the relic of St. Emygdius and accompanying documents arrived today here in Croatia. The relic will already be in a public procession very soon as Croatia has recently been rocked by strong earthquakes! Thank you once again for your professional approach! I look forward to doing future transactions with your company

Russian Icon - The Protecting Veil of the Most Holy Mother of God

The Protection (Pokrov) of the Most Holy Mother of God is one of the most beloved Feast days on the Orthodox calendar commemorated on October 1 celebrating the appearance of the Virgin Mary in Constantinople in the 10th century at the time when the people in the city were threatened by the Barbarian invasion. Saint Andrew, the Holy Fool with his disciple Saint Epiphanius, and a group of people, saw the Mother of God, Saint John the Baptist, and several other Saints and Angels during a vigil in the Church of Blachernae, nearby the city gates. The Mother of God approached the center of the church, knelt down and remained in prayer for a long time with her face drowned in tears. Then she took her veil off and spread it over the people as a sign of protection. After the appearance of the Mother of God, the danger was averted and the city was spared from bloodshed and suffering. On the icon, the Theotokos is depicted standing on a cloud in aureola of green light with a city walls behind her holding her veil surrounded by apostles, saints, and two angels behind her. Below are Saint Romanos the Melodist, Saint Epiphanius and Saint Andrew the Fool.
