The Russian Navy Is Sending an Icon of Andrew the Apostle on a Tour of its Arctic Bases
The sacred religious symbol was on the 21st December flown into the Northern Fleet headquarters of Severomorsk and subsequently taken around in a church procession among the military vessels on the port side.
The icon depicts Andrew the Apostle and is the patron of the Russian Navy. It is on a grand tour in the country’s five fleets before it will be installed in the military cathedral currently under construction in Moscow.
