Having cleared Moscow of Polish occupation in 1612, Prince Dimitry Pozharsky attributed his success to the divine help of an
icon of Theotokos of Kazan, to whom he had prayed on several occasions. He financed the building of a wooden church to the
Virgin of Kazan on Red Square in Moscow. Destroyed by fire in 1632, it was replaced by a brick church, consecrated in October
1636. This in turn was destroyed by Stalin and has recently been re-built.
