Ludwig IV and Tatiana Nikolaevna: Grandfather and Granddaughter. They never met, as he passed before she was born. She resembles him a lot in my opinion 🤍

Tumblr media
Alix's handwrited prayer in 1917 at Tobolsk to her childrens tutor.
I pray that Christ the Xmax King may stoop to bless, and guide you day to day holiness, Your friend in joy, Your comfort in distress, I pray that every cloud may lead you to the light, and He may raise you up from height to height, Himsef the Day-Star of your darkest night; I pray that the Christ before whose Crib you bend the knee, may fill your longing soul abundantly, with grace to follow him möre perfectly. 1917 Tobolsk - Alexandra
