During the month of its stay in Russia, the reliquary with the relics of St. Spyridon traveled to Krasnodar, Yekaterinburg, Krasnoyarsk, Kemerovo, the Moscow Region, Tula, St. Petersburg, Tver, Saratov, Cheboksary and Yaroslavl.

The right hand of St. Spyridon of Trimifuntsky was delivered to the capital on September 21, on the feast of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos. The Ark was met by pilgrims in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, and the meeting was led by the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Kirill.

. . . . .

By October 4, more than 200 thousand people bowed to the relics of St. Spyridon of Trimifuntsky, exhibited in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

This pleases us and gives us an understanding of how St. Spyridon of Trimifuntsky is revered by our people, - said priest Alexander Volkov, press secretary of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus'.

The shrine arrived in Moscow on September 21, and on October 14 it will be returned back to the Greek island of Corfu. Before being installed in the cathedral church of the capital, the ark visited more than 10 cities.

According to Volkov, people from all over the country and neighboring countries, including Belarus and Ukraine, come to bow to the relics. All the necessary information was provided to the pilgrims on a special website and in social networks.

Up to 17,000 believers are recorded every day. For out-of-towners, parking is reserved near the Crimean bridge. The whole process is organized by about four thousand specialists and volunteers.

The newspaper's website reminds that the government approved the project of creating a new pedestrian zone from the Cathedral of Christ the Savior to the Yakimanskaya embankment.

MOSCOW, May 22 - RIA Novosti, Anton Skripunov. The queue on the first day of the stay of the relics of Nicholas the Wonderworker in Moscow begins near the Park Kultury metro station. Under the Crimean bridge, volunteers are asked to approach metal detectors with their bags open. Seeing a huge number of people along the entire Prechistenskaya embankment, the pilgrims almost run to the frames.

For the first time in history, the relics left the Italian city of Bari. The shrine will stay in the Moscow Cathedral of Christ the Savior for 52 days - until July 12, where it will be possible to bow to it from 8.00 to 21.00. Then she will go to St. Petersburg for two weeks, and from there she will return to Italy.

Daily access to the relics is provided by 400 volunteers. They stand not only along the line and in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, but also near the nearby metro stations - Park Kultury and Kropotkinskaya. You can recognize them by their bright green jackets, they simply and politely (probably hundreds of times a day) explain where you need to come to bow to the shrine. They also help elderly and disabled people cross the road, patiently listening to their stories.

Along the entire queue, about every hundred meters, there are toilet stalls and green tents where you can buy food and drink. The assortment is modest: buckwheat with sausage, tea, coffee, cookies, etc. The Moscow authorities kept their word - the prices are really affordable. So, buckwheat will cost one hundred rubles, tea or coffee - 30 rubles. The price of water - and the line goes under the sun along the roadway - is 50 rubles.

The experience of previous bringing of shrines is unequivocally taken into account: it is felt that all actions are debugged by both volunteers and the police. Pilgrims are "divided" into sectors of 100-150 people. When free space appears in the next sector, people from the previous one are launched there. Therefore, you can calculate the approximate number of people. In the middle of the day there were clearly no more than five thousand.

Theology in the masses

From Prechistenka you can enjoy a picturesque view of the Moskva River. Because of this, one woman fell behind her family. "Let me (to the next sector), I was just taking pictures!" she cries to the policeman. "No, it's not allowed," he snaps.

Indeed, there are no "VIP passes". Bypassing the line to the relics, you can only get to wheelchair users and the disabled on crutches, and even then upon presentation of a document confirming disability. Mothers with babies also get free access. These groups have a separate entrance. But they also want to get to the shrine as soon as possible in the main queue.

“Let the woman go! She is disabled, we even have a certificate, we came from Siberia!”, the pilgrim in a lemon-colored scarf is indignant. The policeman calmly replies: "Understand, here one in five stands with the same certificate."

"Yes, if I knew that it was possible, I also made a certificate!" - An elderly man in a shabby denim jacket says offendedly. “Come on, you say that! It’s bad to be a disabled person!”, the Siberian woman replies. “Yes, I know everything… I’m like that, just a disposable one!” he cheers.

To pass the wait, someone quietly prays, someone takes pictures of everything around, someone, leaning on the barriers, smokes. Despite the fact that pilgrimage groups from the dioceses will only arrive on Tuesday, today people from all over Russia came to pray to Nikola Ugodnik.

“I came here from Krasnoyarsk on purpose to pray to the saint,” says Tatyana. For this, she and her daughter rented an apartment for a short time. Why she came to the relics right now, despite the fact that they will be taken away from Russia as early as July 28, she explains as follows: "It's hot in the summer, but I still have a course of chemotherapy planned, I want to be on time." She was the one who tried to get through the barrier on help.

“Well, we will stand to the victorious. No wonder they came here because of distant lands,” she says to those around her.

Here a young woman in a stylish checkered dress intervenes in the dialogue: “There are no happy people here, everyone comes here with their troubles. You understand, because when you stand here, to the saint, you are being tested. As you stand here, so you will be rewarded.”

“And I think that such an approach (pilgrimage as a test - ed.) is wrong!”, the grandmother in a gray scarf is distracted from reading the akathist to Nikolai Ugodnik.

“Correct, correct!” objected the woman standing behind.

Staring in crosses

Despite the fact that traffic is limited near the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, there were no traffic jams on Prechistenskaya Embankment from 12:00 to 17:00. One of the lanes is occupied by police paddy wagons. Out-of-town pilgrims are a bit unaccustomed to the noise of cars, but they patiently endure this test as well. When a motorcycle with large speakers drove past the queue, from where one of the songs of the German rock band Ramstein sounded loudly, only a few paid attention to it.

In the queue, knowledgeable pilgrims immediately offer to go online and see all the information about the duration of the stay of the shrine and how, to whom and where to approach. Priests of the Eastern Vicariate of Moscow are on duty along the entire line.

Vicar of the Eastern District of the capital, head of the Synodal Department for Charity of the Moscow Patriarchate, Bishop Panteleimon (Shatov) walks along the entire line. "Christ is risen! Well, how are you here, my relatives, tired of standing?" he asks the pilgrims. Believers approach him for a blessing, they ask something. One man from Taganrog complained to Vladyka about something for a very long time. He patiently listened to him.

“Priests of the Eastern Vicariate are on duty along the line that stands at the relics from seven in the morning until ten in the evening. The clergy (clergy) of the Moscow Regional Diocese are also on duty. They keep order in the queue, answer people’s questions,” the bishop explains.

"Horror Coming Soon"

Already in the very Cathedral of Christ the Savior, believers are asked to stand up in pairs and pray in advance, not at the relics themselves. People approach the ark from two sides without any delay, those who hesitate are politely taken by the arms and led to the shrine.

“We call it the elbow game,” jokes one of the volunteers.

The flow of people moves quite quickly. Today, access to the shrine began an hour earlier than planned - the temple was ready to receive pilgrims after the patriarchal service.

“I stood for about three and a half hours. From half past one. But when you pray, read books, akathists, then on the contrary, everything passes quickly,” the pilgrim shares her impressions on the threshold of the temple.

Someone, just leaving the temple, lingers on its steps to thank St. Nicholas for the passed test. In the Russian Orthodox Church, more people are expected to bow to the relics of Nicholas the Wonderworker than to the girdle of the Virgin - 3.5 million people. Perhaps there will be many more people in the coming days.

“Hello, I’m at the Park of Culture, I’m standing at the relics. When do you still get to see St. Nicholas the Wonderworker? Today there is a long line, but in the next days it will be generally terrible. Think carefully!” One of the pilgrims shouts into the phone all the way .

The line of believers to the relics of St. Spyridon of Trimifuntsky in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior begins at the Patriarchal Bridge, you can spend about 1.5 hours in it, according to a website dedicated to the arrival of the shrine in Russia.

From the beginning of the Patriarchal Bridge on Yakimanskaya Embankment to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior - about 570 meters, according to the Yandex.Maps service.

The relics will stay in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior until October 14. Access to the relics will be open daily from 08:00 to 20:00. Solemn farewell to the shrine to the Greek island of Corfu will take place on October 15.

Spyridon of Trimifuntsky is a Christian saint, revered in the face of saints as a miracle worker. He was born on the island of Cyprus in the village of Assia in 270. The right hand of the saint is kept on the Greek island of Corfu.

From Greece to Russia, the relics of Spyridon of Trimifuntsky were not immediately delivered to the capital of the patriarchate and the country - Moscow.
