A kilometer-long line formed at St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg for the right hand of Spyridon of Trimythous. Believers come to pray and venerate the relic, which was brought to Russia from the Greek island of Corfu.

This was reported by RSS of the Saint Petersburg TV channel. The message says that people turn to the saint in various life situations: believers believe that he helps with housing and work, as well as with the healing of soul and body.

In St. Petersburg, the right hand will remain until August 31. During this time, the opening hours at the Kazan Cathedral were extended: the relic can be venerated from 6:30 to 23:00.

In September, the relics will be transported to Pskov.
