Spiridon Trifuntский is portrayed in the coverage as a Christian saint and wonderworking bishop from the 3rd–4th centuries, venerated in Eastern Orthodoxy. His relics, specifically his right hand (desnitsa), were brought from the Greek island of Corfu to Russia in August, where they were displayed across 12 regions from 20 August to 20 September. Over one million people reportedly visited the relics during their tour, with significant attendance in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. The relics were housed in the Cathedral of Christ-the-Savior in Moscow before being moved to Kazakhstan.
