"It's a huge honor for me. Save, Lord, for the undeserved, but such bright joy," said the artist, commenting on this event.
The award was sent from Kiev and handed at the Church of the Prophet of God Elijah by Archpriest Georgy Kunitsyn.

Alexander of Diveyevo, the founder of the Diveyevo Convent.
"Simonova hopes to continue working on the lives of saints and considers this to be her lifework," writes the artist's website.
