In August 2018, I visited the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk and surroundings areas. During our brief travels, I and the parishioners of our church in Sosnovoborovsk (near Krasnoyarsk) made a pilgrimage to Eniseisk. Along the way, we prayed at the holy shrines of churches that lay on our route, and acquainted ourselves with local points of interest. We stopped in the village of Kazachinskoe, where there is a miraculous myrrh-streaming icon of the Kazan Mother of God and in Lesosibirsk with its beautiful Cathedral of the Exaltation of the Cross, and prayed at the services and spent the night in the Eniseisk Monastery of the Savior. When we returned, I continued my strolls around the capital city of the region and the picturesque Divnogorsk, which is located only twelve kilometers to the southwest of Krasnoyarsk.

The Myrrh-Streaming Kazan Icon of the Mother of God
On March 18, 2001, the third Sunday of Great Lent—known as the Sunday of the Veneration of the Cross—after the service, one of the parishioners was reading the Akathist before the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, praying for the healing of her father. Suddenly, she noticed tears welling up in the eyes of the Theotokos—the Mother of God was weeping. A little later, tears were also seen in the eyes of the Christ Child. This miraculous event was forever imprinted in the memory of the witnesses.
