First time in the whole history of England the unique artefact was displayed for viewing at Russian Orthodox Church in Manchester.This artefact the holy icon was made out of piece of wood of the cross, on which Jesus was crucified.This icon travelled right from Jerusalem.The Russian church was chosen for this ceremony, which was held on 07.12.2013 from 3.00pm until 21.00pm.
Thousands of people visited the church and I witnessed this extraordinary piece of work of holy icon too.See below the picture of the icon that every visitor was given to take home,as they believe that the picture of the icon has the same healing power as the actual icon and charged with positive energy which Jesus had.The piece of wood which this icon was made of has Jesus’s blood that remains over centuries as a reminder of people’s violence and a symbol of Jesus’s love to all humans, including those who actually killed him!
So,I managed to attend the amazing event of the church ceremony with singing and praying,with extraordinary outfits of priests dressed in special clothes embroidered by golden thread,all shiny and majestic!
