Braving cold to see holy belt of Mother of God in Moscow

(MSNBC) - Russian Orthodox Church believers stand in a line to enter the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour to see a casket containing the holy belt of the Mother of God, brought to Russia from Vatopedi monastery situated on Athos Mountain in Greece, after a church service in Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow, Russia, Nov. 19. Greek monks brought the belt said to be the one of the Virgin Mary to Russia nearly a month earlier and finish their tour of Russia in Moscow.

  1. Elder Ephraim of Vatopedi + the Holy Belt of the Theotokos + Moscow + Patriarch Kyrill = An expression of brotherly love.

    Gotta love it.
