The event commemorating Russia’s Royal Martyrs took place at the Romanov family estate
A major cross procession took place on Sunday outside Moscow during which pilgrims walked from the village of Ilyinskoye to Usovo.
The event is organized annually by the Elisabeth-Sergiy Educational Society. The path is largely confined to the territory of Ilyinskoye-Usovo, the only Romanov imperial family estate in Moscow Region.
Some 2,000 people were estimated to have taken part in the procession, which ended with a paraklesis (a smaller service dedicated to a specific saint) to the venerable martyr Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, the wife of Grand Duke Sergey Alexandrovich of Russia, and Royal Martyrs at the Church of Image of Edessa in Usovo.
