At the invitation of His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon, His Grace Bishop Alexei of Sitka and Alaska will visit Washinton, DC, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvanian with the wonderworking Sitka Icon of the Mother of God beginning Monday, March 25, 2024. The icon, painted by the Russian Iconographer Vladimir Lukich Borovikvsky in the late 18th century in the "Kazan" style, has had numerous miracles attributed to the intercession of Our Lady of Sitka.
