An amazing video was made by Russian believers and scientists - animals during the Orthodox procession lined up and accompanied the procession for long kilometers. The miraculous behavior of a flock of sheep during the Procession of the Cross, which took place in the summer of 2004 in honor of the 250th anniversary of the birth of the Monk Seraphim of Sarov, was recently reported by an expert working group describing the miraculous events taking place in the Russian Orthodox Church.
About one and a half hundred people marched in the procession. They walked with banners and several well-known miraculous icons of Russia, among them - the icon of Seraphim of Sarov, the icon of the Mother of God "Tenderness". The religious procession started in Kursk, and then through the Lipetsk region came to Tambov.
Many miracles accompanied the procession. The icons were streaming myrrh, so much so that myrrh flowed from the image of the Mother of God "Tenderness" straight onto the road.
An amazing video was made on the border of the Lipetsk and Tambov regions. All who watched the miracle were moved and amazed.
The procession went along the road past the fields. And suddenly, along a path parallel to the road, sheep began to line up to the people. The animals, peacefully grazing nearby, suddenly, as if at the call of the leader, lined up and obediently began to follow the group of believers one after the other. The frightened and amazed shepherd fled in confusion after the sheep, trying to get them back. But the animals chose a different owner.
Some of the crucifixes tried to drive off the sheep, but the bulk of the herd still ran after them.
“It probably took a long time for the shepherd to gather the herd entrusted to him,” says Alexander Moskovsky, chairman of the expert working group on miraculous signs in the Russian Orthodox Church.
A report on this wonderful behavior of animals during the Procession was made at the conference "Christianity and Science" as part of the XVII International Christmas Educational Readings.

At the very beginning of the third millennium, by divine will, people clearly saw what was said in the Bible. It is not in vain that there are so many comparisons of Jesus with a shepherd in the Holy Scriptures, there are many parables where the flock and believers are compared with a flock of sheep.
“Jesus said: The kingdom is like a shepherd who had a hundred sheep. One of them got lost … . (Matthew 18:12). The shepherd leaves 99 sheep in a pasture in the mountains and goes to look for the lost one.
In the parable that opens the tenth chapter, Jesus exclaims: "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep …".
