Konstantin Basyuk: Happy Feast of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God! Today we also celebrate one of the most revered holidays in Russia - the day of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. This image is familiar to every believer from childhood: it is found in almost every home, in every church. The icon of Kazan has saved our country more than once in the most difficult times. With it, the militia of Minin and Pozharsky freed Moscow from the invaders in 1612. They prayed to her during the war years, when the fate of the homeland was decided. And she answered. The Most Holy Theotokos has always been the preceptor of the Russian land. And faith in her intercession is not only a tradition, but something that helps us endure the most difficult days. Happy holiday dear friends. Peace to your homes and the protection of the Most Holy Theotokos.
