The Most Holy Theotokos “Softener of Evil Hearts” icon was ceremoniously received on February 1, 2025, at the Russian Church of the Holy Trinity in Belgrade.
A large gathering of faithful believers formed a solemn procession, showing reverence and prayerful silence as they came to pay homage to the sacred relic, displayed prominently in the central area of the Russian church at Tašmajdan. The Divine Liturgy was presided over by Protopresbyter-Stavrophor Vitaly Tarasyev, the head of the Representation of the Moscow Patriarchate in Belgrade.
With the approval of Patriarch Porfirije of Serbia, the miraculous icon will be on display at the Russian church until Sunday, February 2, 2025, with another Divine Liturgy scheduled for 8:30 AM on that day.
Throughout the day, a multitude of faithful followers have been arriving to venerate and kiss the holy icon, brought to Belgrade in honor of the 16th anniversary of the enthronement of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia.
