1. This is one of the most rare statues you can find. It was made in Russia and is now in some churches and in some christian museums. This is a statue of St Nicholas of Mozhaisk. It was made in the 17th century. It is placed in Patriarch’s Palace and also in Twelve Apostles' Church.

2. On the Spassky Tower the restorers are the conjuring over the icon of the Saviour. On the Nikolsky Tower an icon of St. Nicolas has been discovered. This icon has gone through a lot of trouble. During the Patriotic War of 1812 against Napoleon, the French army retreating from Moscow blew up the Nikolsky Tower. The crack in it stopped just on the level of the icon. People saw it as a Holy Providence and a sign of the death of Napoleons army in Russsia. During the revolutionary fighting in 1917 the icon of St. Nicolas was pierced by bullets but the Saints face did not suffer, which was also understood by people as a miricale.
