Ella's grave in Jerusalem & her relics

Good point,edubs. I get the sense that the Russian Orthodox mission in the Holy Land prior to that,though well-motivated, was a haphazard affair, not overly well-organized,and underfunded.

After 1906, pilgrimages there became more feasible and appealing. We know that Rasputin at  some point  (year?) made such a trek, for example., though obviously this was  well before Ella's enshrinement.

Indeed. I think his was well documented by the Russians.
