A rare case of Orthodox sainthood - she was canonized, then canonized, and after a while she was canonized again - Anna Kashinskaya.
Anna was a Tver princess, her life was dramatic - all her relatives died, civil strife. But even after her death, her fate was full of vicissitudes.
Prince Rostov's daughter Anna, married Prince Tver. She bore him two sons. The husband was executed by the download. Then they executed their sons and grandson.
The year in which she took monastic vows is unknown, but at the age of 80 she is known as the nun Sophia (she received this name when she received the nuns). At the age of 87, she moved to the city of Kashin, received the schema (a stricter type of asceticism than nuns), thus returning to the name given at birth, and a year later she died.
After 280 years, it was decided to make her a saint. They opened the coffin and found her body uncorrupted, except for small areas of the face and legs.
At the same time, they noticed that the right hand is placed on the chest, "bent as if in a blessing", that is, with an ancient two-fingered finger. Like the noblewoman Morozova in the famous painting.
Anna began to be depicted on icons, her holy relics were placed in reliquaries and decorated with jewelry.
And 20 years later there was a split in the church, those who crossed themselves with two fingers were declared heretics. And started using Anna Kashinskaya as proof that double-finger baptism is not heresy.
הקדוש עבר דה-קנוניזציה. השרידים נקברו. תכשיטים נשדדו, ומקדשים שונו לכבודה. החיים שוכתבו - לדבריהם, אנה הייתה עוזרד, לא נסיכה, וכל חייה חיה בקשין
In 1909, with the consent of Nicholas II, she was declared a saint again. The remains were returned.
Everything is acceptable as in Russian history. Temple - pool - temple again.
Anna's remains are preserved in Kashkin. In 2009 they were brought to St. Petersburg.
