The book “Holy Rus'” by the famous Orthodox writer and publicist Dmitry Orekhov, dedicated to the theme of pilgrimage, is a fascinating story about the main shrines of Russia - monasteries and temples where the relics of the most revered Russian saints rest. This is also a story about holy springs - sacred springs and lakes that give healing, and about miraculous icons, especially the most revered images of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A story about the world that existed and exists on Russian land. Dmitry Orekhov has an amazing property: to talk about the traditional - about history and holiness - while maintaining a respectful tone and finding new words addressed to the modern reader. Reliability and sincerity are the main advantages of the book. He gleaned many facts from his pilgrimage trips, from conversations with old-timers and devotees of the faith, who did a lot to preserve the shrines.
