Bishop of Naryan-Mar and Mezen consecrates icon for R/V Kartesh

His Grace Iakov, the bishop of Naryan-Mar and Mezen, consecrated an icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in the Epiphany Cathedral of Narayan-Mar. The icon will now accompany the expedition on board the R/V Kartesh. This is a hallow sign for our project.
