Kursk Root Icon Procession

In 2009 hundreds of thousands of people participated in a procession of the Kursk Root icon of the Mother of God in the city of Kursk (Russia).
This was the first visit of the wonder-working icon to Russia since it was taken from the country after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.

I was there in 2009 visiting with my wife's family. And I will never forget just how many people came from all over to see this Icon. It was amazing to see.

Difference between worshipping and venerating mate.

These are not IDOLS but ICONS. Stop posting protestant american nonsense

[@billybenson3834]

Yes, I agree it's a pagan thing to do. I do however venerate icons and had the opportunity to do so with this particular one.

[@tatianabrown6903]

We do not worship idols. Icons are holy Images of Jesus, his Mother and Saints. We show homage to the heavenly Kingdom, icons are windows to heaven. Do you have pictures of your parents and family members? Do you worship them ? or just point to them with love and respect? They remind us of the heavenly Kingdom.
