==Tikhvin icon==

During his travels leaving Latvia during World War II, Bp. John came into possession of the Tikhvin icon that Germany forces took from Tikhvin, Russia to Riga. Bp. John and his adopted son Sergei took the icon under their care, intending that it be returned to Tikhvin when the atheist communist regime fell. For many years the icon remained in the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Chicago under the care of Abp. John and, after his repose, by his son Sergei. In 2004, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Abp.John’s son, now Fr. Sergei Garklavs, fulfilled Abp. John’s promise as the icon traveled back to Russia and to the [[Novo-Tikhvin Monastery|monastery]] in Tikhvin, Russia.
