Scientists have confirmed the authenticity of the relics of Saint Prince Dmitry Donskoy

The scientist noted that the records of written sources, which can always be questioned, are now confirmed by independent anthropological material.

Earlier, restorers opened the sarcophagus of St. Prince Dmitry Donskoy in the Archangel Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin. Research has confirmed that the remains belong to him. On August 18, Patriarch Kirill performed a prayer service at the relics of the holy prince, and on August 20, Russian President Vladimir Putin prayed in the Archangel Cathedral. As the Russian Orthodox Church reported, several fragments of the saint’s relics were taken from those freely located in the sarcophagus and placed in arks for the worship of believers. One of the particles is available in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior from September 7 to 20.
