Anna_k,

Thank you very much for the links.

Unfortunately, I do not understand Russian, but I enjoyed watching the documentaries.

I'd be nice if there was an English translation of the videos.

Wow, I didn't know she left a last will. Do you know where I can read more about this, Hikaru?
I wonder if they'll transfer her body back to Moscow...any more news on this?

Yes, there is more news.

Click the following link to read comments from Russian Orthodox patriarch Alexei II on a proposal from the mayor of Moscow to have the relics of Saint Elizabeth moved from Jerusalem to the Martha-Mary Convent in Moscow.
