Beautiful to see Russians able to publicly worship Christ again.

Sounds to me like they're worshipping Mary.

In Orthodoxy they are worshiping Father (God), Mother (Mary) and Son (Jesus).

No. Many are honoring and seeking what Mary's actions represent which is service to God through the actions of Motherhood that Mary was asked of by God the Father. While also honoring her service to God the Father and son through being a vessel for the virgin birth and being the Mother of Jesus.

There are many reasons people are there. Fundamentally these are the underpinnings. Mary represents the ultimate service to God the Father and God the Son. Which these people showing up are honoring as well as seeking strength to carry through as well.

No more than we worship Lincoln by paying thousands of dollars for his letters and autographs.

you're not listening carefully....we don't worship Mary, we honor her as the mother of God on earth, we, and most other "Christians" have done so for 2,000 years. Where have you been???
