The law allowed her to marry a representative of another religion and not to change her own, since the Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich was not the emperor. But after a trip to Jerusalem, her views on religion started to change, and in three years she converted to Orthodoxy. The duchess traditionally took the patronymic Fedorovna, just as all foreign wives of Russian emperors and dukes, &#8211; in honor of the Feodorovskaya Icon of the Mother of God, considered the patroness of Romanov\u2019s house.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24480\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24480\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24480 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/catalog.obitel-minsk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1885.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"483\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24480\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The glove, dropped by the duchess during her arrest<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After the revolution, the duchess refused to leave Russia and stayed there working in the Martha and Mary Convent by helping people.
