Does anybody know the history of the Holy Icon (Orthodox Icon; Virgin Mary

and
the Child) placed in Zvezda Service Module?

From STS-74

Our Russian riends are more Christian than the x-cccp state would let people
think.

Cheers!


Many thanks!!!
But the history of the Icon from Zvezda is still unknown for me.

P.S. You are very unconventional writing Cyrillic "CCCP" rather than "USSR"
;-)
