The Russian Orthodox Church wants to prevent an “enemy invasion.”

Bryansk clergymen made a tour around Bryansk with the Svenskaya Icon of the Mother of God to “protect” the city from the Ukrainian army.

The  Bryansk diocese  reported on a car procession during which priests of the Russian Orthodox Church read the Akathist to the icon. The prayer was “for the salvation of the Fatherland and native Bryansk region from enemy invasion.”

“Prayers to this icon led to the retreat of Napoleon’s troops in 1812. The residents of Bryansk, having learned that they were in danger, took the miraculous Svensk icon of the Mother of God and carried it in a religious procession through the city. During the procession, good news arrived: the enemy had retreated,” the report says.

ROC and war

Last fall, Russian soldiers and priests conducted a “prayer flyover” of the Kaluga region. They poured  100 liters of Epiphany water on the occupiers’ military facilities , praying for “peace and well-being.”

Already in March 2024, when Russian facilities in St. Petersburg came under attack by unmanned aerial vehicles, local authorities also decided to make  a “prayer tour” of the city . Officials also prayed for Patriarch Kirill and Kremlin ruler Putin

  1. They should be praying to Beelzebub, after all they might just pray to the guy they’ll spend eternity with.

      • That is why I think I’m right to refer their shithole as “the cauldron of devilry.”
        Evil exists in the world. I have studied the psychology of evil and read what the professionals think. But never in my lifetime have I seen evil like this and on such a massive scale.
        The putinaZis refer to their victim in words that describe themselves: “nazis”, “satanic”, “cruel” and “brutal terrorists.”
        This methodology is known as “accusation in a mirror.”
        Ukraine and Ukrainians are being forced to deal with a monstrous evil pretty much on their own. It’s hard to find a historical parallel. In WW2; started by ruZia, the allies threw everything they had into it.
        True that FDR was a Biden type, but eventually he did the right thing.
        But then he undid much of the good he did by sidelining Churchill and handing over half of Europe to monsters.
        It’s hard to understand this even now.
