KURSK, May 1 (Itar-Tass) – A replica of the Icon of the Virgin Mary of the Sign, one of the most venerated images of the Virgin in the Russian Orthodox Church, was stolen last night from the Sign bishopric Cathedral in the western Russian city of Kursk, 500 kilometers to the South of Moscow …
The original Virgin Mary of the Sign was taken out of Russia in 1920 and it now belongs to the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, based in the U.S.
The Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia convenes the IV All Diaspora Council this week in San Francisco to discuss union with the Church in Russia (Moscow Patriarchate).
