Why pilgrims come
What makes this Catholic place significant
The Tsarskoye Selo Catholic church preserves the original Fatima icon “By You, Unity,” blessed in 2006 and associated with prayer for Russia and Christian unity.
This is a Marian pilgrimage stop because of a specific image, not simply a historic imperial-era church. The original icon “By You, Unity” was solemnly blessed and installed here in 2006 and has become a focus of prayer for Russia and Christian unity.
