    The belt of the virgin Mary is (was) being displayed in a Holy orthodox church in St. Petersburg Russia (and Moscow) which has already attracted hundreds of thousands of Russian to view it; some are estimating 500,000 and many famous Russians like Vladimir Putin. Did i also fail to mention the people are waiting in sub zero tempatures. Now this is the first time the belt has left the Holy and Great Monestry of Vatopedi in over two hundred or so years (Which is in Greece). Its in Moscow in the Cathedral of Christ the savior (the largest Orthodox church in the world )

    Now this is seen as a symbol of relations between the Greeks and Russians, its also said that the belt is supposed to give fertility and with Russia's great population decline they will seek any help that they need. Next the Majority of people viewing to the belt are women which is ironic as the Monestry of Vatopedi does not allow women to go.


    Well i hope that was interesting, if not sue me

    http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/world/2011/11/27/nr-bilchik-russia-mary-belt.cnn, http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/24/world/europe/virgin-mary-belt-relic-draws-crowds-in-moscow.html, http://rt.com/news/christian-orthodox-relic-moscow-249/


    The ironic part is there a belt of the virgin mary in moscow allready, which attracts like no people. Alot of russian intellectuals are claiming its prove that Russia is in a rough time and that there really turning to religion to make it, or there crazy according to some.

    Wait, So let me get this so people want it because it makes them immortal, however the christian religion teaches of the after life and meeting god (yeah we know all this) so wouldn't it be kinda odd for a christian to want this power.
