The Icon with a relic and the Wonderworking Belt of St John of Shanghai and San Francisco have been brought to Arkhangelsk by the founder of the Benevolent Fund "Russian Soul", Elisabeth Arapetova.

According to her the Belt has never been taken anywhere outside of Canada. This Holy Belt is usually kept on the Altar table in the Holy Transfiguration Skete in the Parish of St Seraphim of Sarov in Rawdon, Quebec. Elisabeth Arapetova went on to say that on the rare occasions that the Holy Belt was placed in the chapel for veneration by the faithful, miracles have been witnessed.
