Long time ago Russian land used to be called "Holy Rus", because it was full of sacred things: saints, their imperishable relics endowed with healing force, miracle-working icons capable to console those in grief. The present book attempts to restore the information on numerous holy places and traditions of worship in Russia. Special attention is paid to the tradition of veneration of ancient Russian hero Prince Georgy (1189-1238). The reader will get historical facts intertwined with legends narrating about tragic fate of the Prince who suffered for the sake of his land.
