Our Lady of Kursk
On Tuesday 15th February 2011, the Feast of the Purification of Our Lady in the Old Calendar, I was delighted and honoured to be invited to venerate the Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God at Saint Mary of Egypt Russian Orthodox Church in Roswell, Georgia. This holy icon is considered the most sacred relic in the possession of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad, and the devotion to Our Lady of Kursk is one of the most beloved in Russian Orthodoxy: Our Lady of Kursk is to the Russian Church what Our Lady of Walsingham is to Anglicanism. You may read about the devotion here. Let us continue to pray for the restoration of full communion between the Eastern Orthodox and orthodox Anglican Churches.
