There are legends about the icon of the blessed eldress Matrona of Moscow. Her miraculousness has been repeatedly confirmed by a large number of people who received Matrona's help in many difficult situations. You can worship this Russian saint in many churches in Moscow, where her particles and icons with her image are located.
The relics of the blessed Matrona
During her lifetime, Matushka Matrona was a simple uneducated peasant woman Matryona Nikonova, suffering from blindness and immobility. She had to wander for almost a quarter of a century, but there were always people around her - after all, Matryona could predict the future and heal. And the woman also had great faith in God. Today, the relics of the saint are in the Intercession Monastery, which, because of this, has become the most visited Moscow monastery.
The queue of people to the relics of Matrona Matrona stands for several hours at any time of the year to pray to the miraculous remains.
The old woman is usually asked for a successful marriage, healing of serious illnesses, help in work, solving family problems and much more. Also, an icon of St. Matrona with a particle of her relics can be found at the Semyonovsky cemetery in the Church of the Resurrection of Christ and in the church of the Holy Princess Euphrosyne of Moscow, which is located on Nakhimovsky Avenue. These places are considered the most visited after the Intercession Monastery.
Shrine of the Blessed Matrona
The icon depicting the eldress is also in the temple of the unmercenaries Kosma and Damian, which is located on the territory of Shubino. You can also pray to Matrona in front of her icons, which are owned by the Church of the Resurrection of the Word (Filippovsky Lane) and the Church of the Great Martyr George the Victorious (Solovetsky Monastery).
In churches where the icons of St. Matrona are located, you can also pray to the relics of other saints, who are also considered miracle workers.
In addition, you can fall to the relics of the eldress in the church of St. Gregory of Neocaesarea (Derbitsa), where the relics of Gregory the Theologian and Gregory of Neocaesarea himself are also located. The Church of St. Martin the Confessor, which is located in the Alekseevskaya Novaya Sloboda, is the proud owner of a unique shrine - the burial shirt of Blessed Matrona. A huge number of people come to her to pray, who want to be healed from incurable ailments, find family happiness and avoid various troubles.
On the territory of the Intercession Monastery, in addition to the relics of St. Matrona, there is also another shrine related to the blessed eldress - the icon of the Mother of God "Seeking the Lost." It is not very well-known in the non-church environment, so there are no long lines of pilgrims for it - however, it was this icon that was painted by the icon painter with the blessing of St. Matrona of Moscow.
