Reykjavik, June 16, Interfax - Rector of the Russian Church in Iceland priest Timofey Zolotussky before leaving for summer vacations asked the country's Catholic community to look after the icon of the Mother of God.
The procession with cross transferred the revered copy of the Vladimir Icon from the Orthodox St. Nicholas Church to the Cathedral of the Catholic Diocese in Iceland - the Cathedral of Christ the King (Landakotskirkja) Father Timofey told Interfax-Religion on Thursday.
The decision to transfer the icon was taken in order to keep the shrine safe during the break in divine services in the Orthodox Church when the rector is on leave.
It is supposed that the icon will be mainly kept at the Catholic nunnery located not far from the Cathedral at the same street with the Orthodox Church. Divine services of the daily cycle will be conducted before the icon every day.
