The Russian Orthodox Church believes that the Our Lady of Kazan Icon saved / protected Russia during the Polish invasion in 1612, the Swedish invasion in 1709, the Napoleonic invasion in 812, and again during the Nazi bombing and blockade of St. Petersburg (then Leningrad) during World War II. They also credit this icon with performing miracles. This video is of a church service in St. Isaac's Cathedral after the icon was brought there in a 1.1 mile (1.85 km) procession from the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg, Russia. Sorry that the video is fuzzy and shaky at times - I had the camera over my head and was being bumped by people!
