A grand cross procession is to start a sequence of commemorative events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Romanov Family execution in Yekaterinburg. More than 100 000 people are expected to go from the Church on the Blood to Ganina Yama where the remains of the murdered were thrown to, RIA Novosti informs.

The liturgy in honor of the Holy Royal Martyrs and their companions will be served by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia in the early hours of July 17 at the Church on the Blood. Then the Cross Procession will proceed to Ganina Yama where the remains of the Royal Family members together with the family doctor and their servants were burnt down.

Along with the grand Cross Procession of 20 km, there will be minor Cross Procession for those not ready to undertake a long-distance walk. Priests expect, that apart from the Russians, who specially took vacations to commemorate the Emperor’s Family, pilgrims from Australia, the US, New Zealand and Singapore are to join the Cross Procession.  

The Cross Procession is to become the main event of the commemorative festival called the Tsar Days held from 12 until 21 of July in Yekaterinburg. Apart from the Russian Orthodox Church representatives, the heads of the Russian Imperial House of Romanovs are going to take part in the festival.
The day before cathedrals in Alapayevsk at the Sverdlovsk Region were sanctified. Patriarch Kirill sanctified two churches in commemoration of execution of the Royal Family members.
