Members of the Night Wolves biker club are making a pilgrimage to Latin American countries, according to the telegram channel of the Moscow House of Compatriots. They visit Orthodox churches in the region, donating them church utensils and icons brought from Russia.

In Nicaragua, representatives of the club brought an icon of St. Fyodor Ushakov with a piece of his uniform. The shrine is intended for the Transfiguration Church of the Orthodox mission.

The guests from Russia were received by the Ambassador of the Russian Federation Alexander Khokholikov. They discussed cooperation with the club within the framework of patriotic and educational projects. In particular, it is planned to deliver monuments to prominent Russian figures to Central America. Also, the icon of St. Fyodor Ushakov will be handed over to the city of Leon, which is twinned with the Russian Kronstadt.

The pilgrimage takes place as part of a project to support Orthodox shrines and compatriots abroad of the Federation of Motorcycle Tourism of Russia.
