Icon returned to Moscow monastery after more than 75 years

A wonderworking Tikhvin Mother of God Icon used to be in saint Philaret Church, at the Spaso-Borodino Monastery. The sisters protected it when their monastery was destroyed, but in October 1941, a German soldier stole it and took it to Germany.
