Anton Pospelov. The Cross of the Apostle Andrew in Moscow

From July 19–25, 2013, the Cross of the Apostle Andrew the First Called is placed for veneration in the Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow. This sacred treasure of Christianity was brought from Greece for the celebration of the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Russia. It is believed that the Apostle Andrew visited what is now Kiev, and possibly other places in Russia. As tradition has it, St. Andrew stood on the hills of Kiev and prophesied that this would be a great Christian nation.
