ARTICLE ON RELICS OF CATACOMB SAINT MNARIA OF GATCHINA: ADVISE
robb7thurston
He is Risen! Indeed Christ has Risen!
News has arrived from a site in Russia that the relics of St.
Maria of Gatchina, victim of Stalinim and Catacomb Church Martyr,
these relics are in some manner molested. Here is a link. Also some
letters in English, but it is very sketchy.
I am not posted well enough in the Russian language to follw this
properly. Can someone help: (1) help with translations of the Portal:
Credo material proffered; (2) in any manner corroborate the
molestation? ADVISE.
May Jesus Christ, Risen, come to you and may he save us all in
this age of chaos.

Dear in Christ Alexandre,
If you can read Russian, you can find more information here:
http://portal-credo.ru/site/?act=topic&id=506
Just remember that MP is now trying to present this story nicer than
it was. At firstthwey wanted simply to hide all the info and then to
make a surprize of "discovering the relics". But when we found that
the relics were secretly rwmoved, we made a niose in perss, so they
started to publis something too. All "pro and contra" is at the link
above.
But we still will be able to venerate the relics. Now she will be very
close not to St.Xenia, but to our Father Alexander who was killed in
1997, his grave is in Gatchina not far from the place where whey will
place her relics.
Many holy relics were taken bu Catholics or even by atheists, we still
can venerate them, because the Saints are with their Church.

This is one of the worst exploitation (in italian: strumentalizzazione) of the signs of God in the earth that the evil forces could do. It was a great desire of mine to go on her grave and pray her, it's all very sad...
