Russia: Pilgrims begin Velikoretsky Procession of the Cross in Kirov
Tens of thousands of pilgrims began the Velikoretsky Procession of the Cross, in Kirov on Saturday.
Orthodox pilgrims from Vyatka, other regions of the country, as well as from abroad, will walk more than 150 kilometres (93 miles) on foot for six days: through fields, forests and swamps, stopping in several locations.
SOT, Arkadiy, a pilgrim (Russian): Emotions, the feelings that you get here, you cannot get anywhere else, not on any sea or on any island. What you get here is very valuable, and those emotions that get in here last for the whole year.
SOT, Nadezhda Kosolapova, a pilgrim (Russian): Here it is like your are in another world, in another country. It's hard to go back to the ordinary world from here. Every year it pulls us to come back.
SOT, Pilgrim (Russian): [I am here] with a sense of happiness because I am going, I was waiting for this. Larisa [a woman next to her] invited me to go. I am going for the first time.

Russia: Blinged-out 'Orthodox' smartphone comes with $25,000 price tag
A Moscow-based mobile company presented a gold-plated Orthodox-themed smartphone worth 1.5 million roubles (€23,680, $25,128), on Thursday.
The mobile was made to commemorate Epiphany, and features a large cross that is engraved with messages from the Orthodox Church.
The golden phone is equipped with 18-carat gold buttons and an outer shell of bronze covered in gold leaf. In total, 988 of the phones have been created honouring the year that Russia accepted baptism into its culture.
Gresso press officer, Anatoly Sautin, explained the reason for the phone's minimalistic style. He said, we wanted to minimise users' Internet addiction and concentrate on the mobile itself and the real world, not a virtual one.
He said that the Orthodox phone is about responsibility and ethics, and so it was appropriate to present the first phone to the head of the Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill.
A special diamond edition of the Orthodox phone can also be purchased. Both versions are equipped with a built-in memory of 32 GB, a three mega-pixel camera and support the use of two SIM-cards. The manufacturer also offers a guarantee period of one year.
