Hello,

I have been doing research on the Icon of Our Lady of Kazan for many years and have found minor errors in your Wiki article. I also added more specific details.

1) Pope John Paul IIdid not credit the Kazan icon for saving his life. He credited Our Lady of Fatimafor saving his life, since the assasination attempt occured on May 13th, 1981, the feast of Our Lady of Fatima. The Pope went to Fatima one year later in thanksgiving.

2) The icon was aquired by the Blue Army of Our Lady of fatima and taken to their international headquarters, Domus Pacis, in Fatima. It was enshrined in the Russian Byzantine Catholic chapel of the Dormition. You can see this for yourself at www.bluearmy.com

3) When the icon was taken to the Vatican, it was placed in his private study, not in his bedchamber. It was placed near his desk.
