Очереди верующих, которые выстраивались к мощам святого Спиридона Тримифунтского, впечатляют, но не должны удивлять, так как Спиридон близок русским людям, он вступался за оклеветанных и помогал бедным, считает предприниматель и глава телеканала "Царьград" Константин Малофеев.

Десницу (правую руку) одного из самых почитаемых в мире святых - Спиридона Тримифунтского - привезли в Россию с греческого острова Корфу 17 августа. По данным РПЦ, поклониться мощам святителя Спиридона в России с 20 августа по 20 сентября смогли более миллиона человек.

"Цифры впечатляют. Но удивлять не должны. Святой Спиридон для русского человека свой. Пастух. Ходил пешком. Заступался за оклеветанных. Вразумлял сильных. Бедным давал в долг и не требовал назад", - написал Малофеев в Telegram-канале.

На Корфу говорят, что святителю Спиридону все время меняют стоптанные туфли, потому что он все еще в пути к тем, кто попросит, добавил он.

"Святитель Спиридон знает цену земной нужде. Поэтому его молитвенная помощь ощущается так близко. И в этот раз он не обещал легкой жизни. Он помогал нам выстоять. Сохранить дом. Вернуть мир в душу. Не отчаяться", - написал Малофеев.

В Москве очередь к Храму Христа Спасителя растянулась на километры и стояла сутками, в ней были пожилые люди, военные, семьи с детьми, но никто не жаловался, отметил он.
