Venerating the Relics of St. Matrona of Moscow

Christ is risen! Truly, He is risen!
This is a short video showing Metropolitan of Neophytos of Morphou (Cyprus), on a recent pilgrimage to Russia (November 5th, 2012). In Moscow, he is shown visiting the famed Monastery that houses the wonderworking Relics of St. Matrona the Blind, and he enters, venerating with reverence, and reads a prayer in Greek. From this we can see the great crowds of pilgrims that come to venerate St. Matrona on a daily basis, the great beauty of her Monastery, and the devotion of the faithful from around the world and from many different cultures for one of the great Saints of the 20th Century and a beloved child of God. May we have her intercessions! (source)
   
Christ is risen from the dead, by death, trampling down upon death, and to those in the tombs, He has granted life!
Truly, the Lord is risen!
