Thousands of Orthodox gathered for the Velikoretsky Cross Procession

Thousands of Orthodox faithful gathered in the Vyatka Metropolia for the Velikoretsky (“Great River”) Cross Procession, held annually from June 3 to 8.According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kirov Region, 27,000 pilgrims attended the opening of the 110-mile holy march with an ancient copy of the Velikotretsky Icon of the St. Nicholas the Wonderworker to the banks of the Great River, to the place where the icon appeared, reports the press service of the Diocese of Vyatka and Sloboda. 

The icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was discovered in 1383. A peasant named Semyon Agalakov from the Krutitsy village discovered the icon on the bank of the Velikaya River, hence its name, Velikoretsky [“of the ‘Velikaya,’ or ‘Great’ River”].

In about 1400, the icon was sent to the town of Khlynov which was later renamed Vyatka (and in 1934 renamed Kirov). Khlynov residents vowed to bring the icon to the site of its appearance every year. Until 1777, the procession of the cross was arranged by water—on boats and rafts along the Vyatka and Velikaya Rivers, and then it was held by land.

In the 16th century, by order of Tsar Ivan IV, the icon was brought from Khlynov to Moscow. Sick people were healed and other miracles occurred en route. At the tsar’s command, one of side chapels of the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed, which then was under construction, was dedicated in honor of the “Velikoretsky” icon of St. Nicholas. From that time on the veneration of the miraculous icon began to spread all over Russia. The icon was brought to Moscow for the second time by order of Tsar Mikhail Fyodorovich in the 17th century. The feast in commemoration of the icon (June 6 according to the new calendar) was established in 1668.

In 1935, when the cathedral in Kirov was destroyed, the miraculous icon was lost. The Velikoretsky Cross Procession was officially prohibited in the 1930s and was not resumed until 1989. Today, pilgrims carry one of the copies of this icon instead of the original in the procession.

Chairman of the ROVS I.B. Ivanov delivered a report “Prevent New October”: Russia needs an anti-revolutionary course, in which he pointed out the activation of leftist and other destructive movements in Russia in 2014 and the danger of playing the geopolitical opponents of the communist card for the next “revolutionary” collapse of our country on the model of 1917.

And the rhetoric and terminology that appeared in the rushes of neo-bolsheviks (“gold runners”, etc.) is a return to the revolutionary rhetoric of the 20s of the last century, long forgotten even in the USSR.
