In June of 2006, when the incorrupt right hand of St. John the Baptist was brought on tour from Montenegro to Russia for the people to venerate it, the media reported the following miracle that took place in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, where people waited for up to eleven hours to venerate the holy relic.
Vladimir Mastukov, a pensioner who lost the use of his legs after a stroke five years prior, bent down to kiss a display case housing the hand. Moments later he cast aside his crutches and skipped out of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in central Moscow. "I felt such lightness in all my body," he was quoted as saying. "Thank you, God."
