Alupka, Evpatoria and other settlements of the republic - and at the end they will return to the starting point of their journey. At Orthodox parishes along the way, all possible assistance will be rendered to the participants in the procession. The initiators of such a long - both in the duration of the route and in the travel time - were the All-Russian public movement in defense of children before birth and family values 'For life!' and the Simferopol and Crimean Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, celebrating this year the 700th anniversary of the acquisition of the Feodorovskaya Icon of the Mother of God.
