The Religious Information Service of Ukraine website reports today (April 5, 2011) that the Donetsk department of Soyuz Chernobyl of Ukraine has given the icon of the Chernobyl Savior to a Japanese representative.
The ceremony was held in the national opera and ballet theater. Department head Evgeny Struzhko handed over the holy image to the director of the Tereda Ballet Art School, Michiko Terada.
Shortly after the Chernobyl power station broke down in April, 1986 -- Japan is undergoing a similar catastrophe today -- Terada came to Ukraine with a ballet show, not fearing the consequences of the tragedy.
Christ, the Mother of God, Archangel Michael, and liquidators of the Chernobyl catastrophe are depicted on the icon.
