On 3 November, the most venerated Orthodox relic in the world, the Kursk Root Icon, will be hosted in Monte-Carlo during a special visit.
A centuries-old spiritual treasure
Discovered in the 13th century, the holy image has radiated divine grace for more than seven hundred years. In Ukraine and Russia, hundreds of thousands of faithful wait up to eight hours for just a few seconds in front of it. Once venerated by the Tsars and Commander-General Kutuzov, the icon is reputed to heal the sick and reconcile adversaries.
A rare opportunity not to be missed
The Sainte-Impératrice Elena parish, located at 22 Avenue de Grande-Bretagne, will host the important relic on Monday 3 November at 6 pm. In the difficult context of the ongoing situation in Ukraine, the event carries a particularly poignant significance.
Christians in the Principality will have the rare privilege of praying before and touching the miraculous icon in a special spiritual opportunity that transcends borders and traditions.
