Controversy as Russia's iconic artwork transferred from museum to church.

Russia's most famous icon, the Trinity icon by Andrei Rublev, was transferred from Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery to Christ the Savior Cathedral on President Vladimir Putin's personal order, despite protests from the museum keepers who warned that the icon was too fragile to move. Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill led a liturgy in the cathedral on Sunday, attended by hundreds of believers, including some officials. Putin's order to transfer the icon to the cathedral is seen as a reflection of his desire to strengthen ties with the church, which has strongly supported the Russian military campaign in Ukraine.

Russian Orthodox Church Fires Archpriest Over Icon Transfer Obstruction

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, has dismissed his expert on art and restoration, Archpriest Leonid Kalinin, for obstructing the transfer of a historic 15th-century Trinity icon from Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery to the Church. Russian President Vladimir Putin had decided that the icon be handed over to the Church because of its importance to believers. Kalinin was also banned from the priesthood. Icons are considered sacred in Eastern Orthodox Churches, and the Trinity icon is one of the holiest and most artistically important Russian icons.

"Putin Transfers Iconic Masterpiece to Orthodox Church"

Russian President Vladimir Putin has handed over Andrei Rublev's Trinity, the country's most acclaimed Russian icon, to the Russian Orthodox Church in response to numerous requests from Orthodox believers. The move was criticized by art experts who said the work of art should be kept at the Tretyakov Gallery where it can be properly preserved. The icon will be exhibited for a year at the Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow before returning to the historic monastery in Sergiyev Posad.
