The Georgian Patriarchate demanded that the icon of the Matrona of Moscow with Stalin be rewritten
The icon of the Matrona of Moscow, which depicts Joseph Stalin, was demanded to be rewritten by the Georgian Patriarchate. This is reported on GOC website. Shrine earlier spotted at the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Tbilisi.
It is noted that there were several reasons for this. First of all, Stalin’s meeting with Matrona, the report notes, due to insufficient evidence, is not included in the canonical text of her life, and therefore this episode should be changed. Also, “the icon became the target of unjustified offensive actions, and tension increased further.”
“Donators are asked to make appropriate changes to the icon themselves, or we will do it,” the Georgian Patriarchate said.
Let us remind you that on January 11, Georgian Orthodox activists began to storm the woman’s housewho desecrated the icon of Matrona of Moscow, where she is depicted together with Stalin.
