The Russian Orthodox Church has sent a fragment of the remains of medieval warrior prince Dmitry Donskoy to the front lines in Ukraine to boost the morale of Russian troops. Specifically, a part of the prince's right hand was dispatched with the stated purpose of spiritually strengthening the soldiers fighting in the conflict.
The relocation of the relic follows the unearthing of Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy's sarcophagus earlier this summer. The discovery occurred during restoration work at Moscow's Cathedral of the Archangel, which is located inside the Kremlin.
