On Sunday January 24 the Kursk Root
Icon was brought to the Monastery by Archpriest Sergei Lukianov. The
icon was met by the brotherhood and laity in the evening and a moleben
and Akathist was served in the Monastery's cathedral. Following the
service Fr Serge gave a moving presentation in the seminary hall of the
icon's visit to Russia. May the Mother of God help us and bless the
efforts of Fr Serge in taking the icon to as many parishes as possible
for the edification of the faithful.
