xenia ii

in the name of the Father
the Son and the Holy Spirit

here rests the body of the servant of God, Xenia Grigorievna
wife of the imperial chorister, colonel Andrei Theodorovich Petrov
widowed at the age of 26, a pilgrim for 45 years
who lived a total of 71 years

and was known by the name 
Andrei Theodorovich

may whoever knew me
pray for my soul 
that his own 
may be saved 

amen

Smolensky Chapel]
