Who is this?



This news photo of a Russian woman says simply that she is holding a "religious picture." But I do not recognize it at all...no halo, no title/name...can anyone identify her? A Romanov perhaps?

Could be a picture of Empress Maria Fyodorovna, whose remains are scheduled to be reinterred in St. Petersburg next year. There are portraits of her wearing just such a cap.

James -

I just love a mystery . . . but I think this is your answer:

It is Empress Alexandra

Look at:

www.ekaterinburg.tv/ images/Alexandra1.jpg

Check out the background, the position of the right eye, and the bangs on the forehead.

And I guess we should say Saint Alexandra, new Martyr of Russia
