The BOC recalled that the church-wide glorification of the holy blessed Matrona of Moscow took place in 2004. For two decades she became one of the most revered and beloved Russian saints of the twentieth century. Every day the Pokrovsky Monastery in Moscow, where its relics rest, is visited by about 5 thousand pilgrims, and on the days of memory of the saint their number reaches 20 thousand. Churches and chapels in her honor are in a number of countries, including Belarus. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the village of Ritešić near the town of Doboj, there is a monastery of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the name of St. Matrona of Moscow.
