The Visit Of the Miracle-Working

The original Miracle-Working icon of the Mother of God Kurskaya Root (Korennaya) visited our church on Tuesday, February 2, 2010. A Service of Thanksgiving (Moleben) and Intercession (Akathist) to the Most Holy Mother of God was served followed by a brief presentation about the history and significance of this 13th Century spiritual treasure.

Special THANK YOU to everyone who helped to make the visit of the Kursk Root icon a truly memorable event!
