Celebrations in honour of the Icon of the Mother of God take place in Zhirovichi
20.05.2025
Large-scale celebrations are taking place in the centre of Belarusian Orthodoxy today. Belarus is celebrating two significant dates at once. The 505th anniversary of the establishment of the Zhirovichi Monastery and the 555th anniversary of the appearance of the Zhirovichi Icon of the Mother of God. From the very morning a festive liturgy was held in the monastery. It was led by the Patriarchal Exarch of All Belarus, Metropolitan of Minsk and Zaslavl Veniamin. It is rare to take out this icon from the church. But today is an exception. In a special decoration of flowers the shrine left the Holy Dormition Church for the procession.
