Thousands Await Miracles at Moscow Catheral

Thousands of believers are lining up to the Christ the Redeemer Cathedral in Moscow.

They want to pay respect to one of the greatest sacred artifacts for Orthodox believers – the girdle of the Mother of the Redeemer, which was brought from Mount Athos to Moscow for one week.

Sacred objects have been brought to Moscow in the past, but the city has never seen such a long line.

Alexandra Smirnova reports from Moscow.
