In the center of cross reverse St. bl. Matrona (1885 - May 2, 1952) is portrayed. Blind from birth, she was endowed with the spiritual vision since childhood. Blessed Matrona was able to read in the human heart and mind, as well as a prophetically see ahead. The Lord gave her strength to console sorrows, and to heal the sick; all her long life, full of bitter hardships and miseries she helped people gratuitously, refusing aid nobody. Even on her deathbed, the mother instructed: "All of you, everyone come to me and tell me of your sorrows as if I were alive, and I will see you, and hear you, and help you."
More than three decades later the grave of St. Blessed Matrona at the Daniel Cemetery became one of the holy places of Orthodox Moscow, and people come there from the four winds with their illnesses and sorrows.
