On Wednesday, October 20, the people of St. Elias Orthodox Church, in Battle Creek, Michigan, were blessed with a visit from the Kursk Icon of the Mother of God. The icon is over 700 years old and is one of the most storied in the Russian church.    angel

How wonderful!

I was blessed to venerate it last December when it was at All Saints of North America in Middlebrook, VA. It is truly a blessing to venerate such a holy object that Our Lord has blessed and humbling, too, that very many Saints have venerated the same icon. Smiley

In Christ,
Andrew
