A rare opportunity for visitors to see one of our most popular gallery videos, The Return of the Icon, in its entirety in the comfort of our auditorium. The film tells the history of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God - one of the most revered icons in the Russian Orthodox Church - and the story of its extraordinary journey into exile from war-torn Russia, then through Eastern Europe to safety in the United States, and its triumphant return in the summer of 2004 to the newly restored monastery in Tikhvin, Russia. Film runs for 85 minutes.  Click Here for more information.
