Voyage on Siberia’s rivers
• July 2011
From June 17th to July 4th, 2011, the delegation of the Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker Charitable Foundation voyaged the Siberian rivers Ob and Irtysh in the Mekhanik Kalashnikov steam-ship. The action was made within the frameworks of the Slavic Cross Procession program which has been implementing for 7 years under the direction and with the blessing of His Eminence Dimitry, the Archbishop of Tobolsk and Tyumen.
The members of the delegation were Mikhail Ivanovich Chepel, General Director, and the Foundation employees Nikolay Igorievich Goryachkin, Tatyana Vasilievna Avdeeva and Dmitry Sergeievich Malinin.
During the voyage, the reliquary with the relics of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker were delivered to several orthodox temples in the Tobolsk and Tyumen, Khanty-Mansijsk and Salekhard eparchies of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Together with the miracle-working icons of St. Ioann of Tobolsk, St. Philophey, and the Abalakskaya icon of the Mother of God the reliquary was carried by the religious processions in the cities of Tobolsk, Khanty-Mansijsk, Salekhard, Berezovo and some other settlements located along the coasts of these great Siberian rivers.
More than 10,000 Orthodox believers from the most remote parishes of the Siberian eparchies took the chance to touch the Orthodox relics.
Earlier, the sacred object was transported through the Orthodox lands of Kamchatka, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands.
The Foundation plans to go on with its missionary activity in the most remote areas of the Orthodox Russia.
