After the liturgy, Svetlana Medvedeva donated an icon of the Mother of God to the Martha and Mary Convent of Mercy.
The Martha and Mary Convent was founded in 1907 by Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, the sister of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna and the widow of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich. The Martha and Mary church was the first house of worship in the convent.
In 1992 the Church of Protection of the Holy Mother of God and the former Martha and Mary Church were returned to the believers and worship resumed.
