What the icon of Our Lady looks like. Healing icons of the Blessed Virgin

The people have long distinguished the "duties" of those or other saints. The same with the images of the List of the Virgin. Each icon of the Mother of God meets the aspirations of praying.

Faces of the Virgin

I will tell you about those miraculous icons with whom I personally had to meet and the strength of which I learned about myself.

As a child, the grandfather told me that the Lord has many assistants - the holy and righteous elders, the prophets and the forces of disembodied. But people get the most advanced help from the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ the Virgin Mary. We talked to him for a long time about how this world was arranged. Grandfather Nikolai told that everything that surrounds us, created the Lord, and he needs to thank it for it.

Grandfather and knew how to do wonderful things. It restored musical instruments and paintings. It was fun to see how a broken violin was brought to him, and he revived her, breathed in her life, and after a while she sang wonderful melodies again, then laughing, then crying, and in the soul became warm and peaceful. And everyone always thanked him!

Once brought a wonderful picture on the board. Beautiful woman with a child - as if who was rooted together in beautiful red clothes. I really wanted to consider her closer, and, putting a stool, I climbed over her bookcase. I had to land on the floor together with the books, one of which hurts the knee.

The entered grandfather grinned in a beard and said: "It's necessary to ask for the Mother of God to ask you to ask you."

So I first met with the revered, today a rarely "addition of the mind" or "the passman of the mind".

This is an amazing image with an amazing story and mysterious iconography, attracting everyone who has ever seen it. Appeared in Russia in the XVI century, this icon has its ancient prototype. Assistant, the Apostle Luke was not only an evangelist, but also wrote icons. He, according to legend, created the sculpture of the Loret icon of the Mother of God, who later became the prototype of the icon "Absorbing the mind." Despite the fact that then it was established that the author of the statue is not the apostle of Luke, nevertheless, the creation of an image is indisputably so far: "Bless the evangelical secrets of the Apostle of the Apostle onions.

In Russia, the first lists of the Loret icon of the Mother of God appeared after the return of Prince Vasily's ambassadors from Pope of Clement VII, which sought to spread its influence and Russian principality. And here a new image was written here, which in the people began to call "the addition of the mind."

They affect that a certain unknown artist became interested in the corrected books of the Patriarch Nikon, as a result of which it was prevented by reason. When the disease retreated, he prayed to the Most Holy Virgin about forgiveness and asked him to send him healing. It also affect that the Most Holy Mother of God was the artist several times, and he created her image, after which the disease returned, returned to the mind and health.

Icon was written in an unusual manner at that time. The Most Holy Mother of God and Jesus Christ are depicted by a purple liturgical use. On their heads of the crowns, in the upper corners icons - lamps, under the arch - the starry sky. It is the use that hides the figures of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Baby of Christ, the icon is reminded of his prototype - the statue of Loretskaya Mother of God. Architectural details in the form of the arch at the top of the image and lamps are an image of a richly decorated niche, in which the sculptural image of Loretskaya Mother of God is placed. Under the legs of Our Lady and over her head depicts cherubs with outstretched wings.

Whether it was or only folk folk, it is unknown, but the fact that many from this icon received assistance and the insight - evidence more than abuse.

The icon of the Blessed Virgin "Add Mind" is asked about the implementation of unreasonable, successful studies, exams, soothing crazy, healing ages associated with the brain.

Personally, I believe that it is thanks to the prayer of this icon that I entered the art school and lies myself with art.

Icon is rare. In Kiev, I only know one temple, where there is a list of the image of the Blessed Virgin "Absorbing the mind" - in the church of the Nativity of Christ on Obolon.

Icon of the Mother of God "Otrada or Consolation"

Many people received healing from the Watoped Miraculous Icon of the Mother of God "Otrada or Consolation". Miracles occur and now - by prayers from the exact lists of this image.

The history of the icons is: the image of God's Mother was written initially in the form of frescoes. There was a custom, when the monks who came from the cathedral after the prayer were applied to the icon, after which the Igumen handed the keys from the gatekeeper monastery to open the gate of the monastery.

Once, Igumen heard a warning caution not to open the gate, but to stay in the monastery and defend themselves from pirates. The old man looked at the icon and saw the baby Jesus stretches his hand to burn the mouth of the Most Holy Virgin, but she, taking the hand of Christ, repeated the same words. The monks did not dare to disobey the order of the Virgin, as a result the monastery was saved from the invasion of pirates.

Since then, the monks of the Watopeda support the restless lamp in front of this miraculous icon. We see such a plot in the iconography of the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary "Otild or Consolation". The face of Our Lady is performed by the compassionate love and maternal tenderness, and the face of a little Christ, on the contrary, harshs and Grezden.

Many indicate that they cannot fail to turn on this wonderful, truly the delicious image created by God, which gives peace and peace.

In front of the icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary "Otrada or consolation" pray and ask for disaster help, when attacking enemies, about deliverance from diseases and misfortunes, as well as on the world's arrangement in conflict situations and in all life affairs.

The Most Holy Virgin is asked to interfere in front of the Lord by our Jesus Christ and forgive the sins of human, save from trouble. It turns to her when dismissed disintegrally, drawn into the scandalous situation, ask to strengthen the spirit and will, help cope with difficulties, survive and overcome the crisis.

Icon of the Mother of God "Otrada or Consolation" - a list stored in the women's monastery of the same name

The exact copy of the wattopid miraculous icon of the Mother of God "Otrada or consolation", written in Athos, was transferred to the same female monastery to the same name in Kiev.

Icon of Our Lady "Troochitsy"

In the Iona Monastery in Kiev there is a miraculous icon of the Mother of God "Troochitsy". This image was written in the middle of the 19th century on the order of the Rev. Ions and was he had a celon. Icon was located with an older Ion and in the Nikolsky monastery, and then in the vytubetsky monastery, and when Ionsky was arranged, took a place on the right column of the temple.

Icon of Our Lady "Troyoulist" - Favorite image of the St. John of Kiev

The image was famous for many cases and healing and miracles, he especially read the old man of Ion.

Here is one of the impressive cases. In 1918, when Kiev passed several times from hand to hand between different political revolutionary forces, while the government was the government of the hetman of the Scoropadian, on the weapons warehouses on the wife, located in the immediate vicinity of the monastery, there was a terrible explosion. The warehouses of the ammunition of the entire South-Western Front of Times exploded.

Now not to establish whether the sabotage was or simply negligent storage of deadly materials. But during the explosion, many people suffered, a huge number of houses and buildings were destroyed. And the icon "Troyoulist" warned Kievans about the upcoming tragic event. On the eve of the explosion during the evening worship and brethren of the monastery, and numerous parishioners saw the icon of the crying. And only the next day, after the explosion, people enjoyed what the Most Holy Mother of God has grown.

And today, the monastery and parishioners are hoping that God's Mother, who loves everyone who prays about those who need her help, merry and Kiev, the mother of the cities of Russians, and Ukraine, and protect the faithful to the Lord of people from sorrows, and those hard tests who fell out to his share, will safely cease.

The miraculous icon of the Mother of God "Troillachitsa" is written in the characteristic style of Ukrainian icon painting in the middle of the XIX century. If you carefully consider it, we will see that the fields are written so-called stimples with images of the heavenly patrons of the Rev. Ion and his parents. They are written very carefully, professionally and with love. This suggests that the icon was written in one of the monastery icon-painted workshops of Kiev. You can see the icon and make it possible on the same place where a hundred years ago, she was located the Rev. Ion.

Troyoulists have in Kiev Trinity Iona Monastery

In general, Troyoulist is one of the most famous and widely revered in the Orthodox world of the Mother of Godody of Odigitria. This is the shrine of the Serbian Monastery of Hilandar in Athos. It differs from other similar icons with the left-sided image of the Baby of Christ (sits on the right hand of the Mother of God).

Sometimes there are several legends talking about where the third hand appeared in the image, and about how Icon was on the Holy Mountain.

According to one of the legends, due to the prayer, this image healed his hand, severed by the naval of enemies, defender and gymnographer John Damaskin. In gratitude, he brought a silver sculpture of the healed hand as a gift, which was raised to the icon, for which she received the name "Troyoul".

According to another legend, the icon painter was twice erased with her image of a third hand, and it appeared again and again on the board. And only then in a dream, the Most Holy Mother of God appeared and commanded to leave an image without change, "the wonderfulness of the sake of the sake of, and not according to the nature."

Despite the contradictions in the occurrence of the image of Our Lady "Troyoulists", the meaning of unusual iconography is revealed when contacting the textpar in honor of the icon. It says that the man is holding the Divine Baby with two hands, and another hand symbolizes the cover and the protection that she gives the praying: "The image of Bo Holy Troins is the Three of the Ruta: the Two of the Son of His Son, the Christ of Our God, wears, the third from Forgiveness and troubles right to you resort to get rides. "

The icon of God's Mother "Troychitsa" will protect from enemies threatening well-being in the house and all living in it. It is praying for her healing and health of loved ones, about the cure of the diseases of the hands, legs, eyes.

According to the prayer in front of Troyorchitsy, the longing of longing and gradual thoughts retreats. Also, this image of the Virgin Mary especially honors those who are engaged in crafts.

Icon "Do not scold me, Mati"

Soon, we all worship another wonderful icon. The Mother of God is depicted sobbing over the Savior who is believed in the coffin. Sometimes the image is called in Greek - "feeding", but it is more famous called "Do not scold me, Mati."

Icon refers to passionate and participates in worship only once a year. On, most often on Friday, it is laid out on anal.

The name is taken from the IMOSOS of the ninth song of the canon on the Great Saturday: "Do not ride me, Mati, in vain in the coffin, I walked in the womb Without Semen, I won the Son in the womb, and I will rise to the Boy and I will be asked, and I will be asleep with Glory, I will be in prosecutor Bulk ". So Christ himself comforts mother, telling her about the coming resurrection, through the sorrow hears the message about.

Icon "Do not scold me, Mati" in the Nikolsky temple

The wonderful list of this iconographic plot met recently in the Nikolsky temple in the city of Vasilkov in Kiev. It was written back in the 1870s on the blessing of Nikon's blessing, which served in this church, and donates the hallors of the temple.

The Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos "Do not ride me, Mati" pray about the suffering, as well as about close relatives and children.

There are icons in the Orthodox world, the number of which is very small. And among them, the icon of the Mother of God "Augustus".

In 1914, Russian soldiers in 1914 were written in the memory of the Mother of God in 1914 (September 15 - October 26, 1914), a battle under the city of Augustus Svalki province of the Russian Empire (now the territory of Eastern Poland).

According to the stories of the soldiers, on the night of July 7-18, they saw in the sky of God Mother with a baby Jesus Christ. The Mother of God pointed to the West. And the subsequent large battle under Augusto was marked by a complete victory. Moreover, in this battle, none of the witnesses of the phenomenon died. The message about this was published in church and secular press and caused inspiration in the troops.

Since 1915, the first icon-painted images of this event appear. His Holiness Synod considered the question of the phenomenon of the Virgin about one and a half years and March 31, 1916, he decided: "Holy Synod, rewarding praise and thanks to the Lord God, who else by the Industing Prayers of the Muslim Mother's Prayers, about all those who appeal to him with diligent and sincere prayer, recognizes the necessary To capture the marvelous event of the Mother of God's phenomenon in the memory of the subsequent generations of the Russian people and therefore determines: to bless Honoring in the temples of God and homes of believers icons depicting the meant phenomenon of the Mother of God to Russian soldiers ... "

Almost every icon is unique and, without exaggeration, one can say, has a huge historical value, since, as a rule, it is associated with those or other historical events. So this is the image of the Mother of God, the firm club and the amateur primitive, which, by the way, never died in icon painting practice, and only at the beginning of the 20th century was recognized as a unique form of art. The result was a rare optimistic compound of high iconographic shape and simple folk art.

I met this unique icon near Kiev, in a pure-white nasty rural temple. Everything is simple, homely, without fussing and stripping. Local rector, Batyushka Guri, always takes everyone with joy - regardless of social origin and material well-being, and the warm memories of these meetings live in memory for a long time.

The "August" icon

So this time, gray veterans received a charge of cheerfulness and hopes and returned to the capital with jokes and smiles on faces, strongly contrasting among the gray mass of the metropolitan people. More than once, and not two Virgin Mary settled, showed miraculous power. So they go to her fearful war veterans to ask for help and intercession from the Lord for their relatives and loved ones, for the people, for the cessation of civil opposition and the wonderful salvation of our sons.

The mother of God is asking for the inspections of those who have something wrong in family relationships who cannot find a way out of seemingly deadly life situations.

Icon of the Mother of the Mother "Spear Silver"

The history of this icon is associated with one of the Afonov monasteries, namely Dohohar, where he was revealed by the graceful strength of this miraculous image. It is assumed that the fresco, served as the prototype of the icon, was written back in the X century at the founder of the Dohair Residents of Reverend Neophyte. It was in the niche of the outer wall, in front of the entrance to the monastery refectory.

In 1664, Tpepezaar Neil, passing at night to the meadow-meal with a burning lady, heard the voice from the icon: "In the future, do not approach here with the burning rays and not a smoke of my image." Inhibition was first frightened, but then, deciding that this joke of someone from brethren, soon forgot about this case. After a while, when Nile passed in the evening by the icon, he heard the same voice: "Monk, unworthy of this name! How long are you so careless and so shamelessly smoking my image?! " After these words, the Nile monk was struck by blindness and relaxation of the body. Repeated ink fell in front of the icon on his knees and all night, before the arrival of the brethren, prayed to the Most Holy Virgin about forgiveness. When Inkoki learned about the miracle occurred, immediately hesitated the restless lamp and fell with a reverence before the miraculous icon.

Neil, in the hope of the great mercy of the Mother of God, remained near the icon and decided not to leave her until he would receive. After a while, standing on the knees before the icon, he again heard a familiar voice: "Neil! Your prayer is heard, you are forbidden, and vision is again given by your eyes. When you get this grace from me, we raise the brethren that I am their cover, industrial and protection of their monastery dedicated to the archangels. Let them and all Orthodox Christians appeal to me in the need, and I will not leave anyone; I will be a reward with everyone with a reverence of me, and the prayers will be performed by the son and God and God, for my petition, before Him, so that since this will be referred to as Siah, my icon will be silent, because I will defeat everyone who flowed to it and the accuracy of "

In Russia, lists from the miraculous Athos Icons "Svopelist" have always enjoyed great love. Many of them became famous for wonders.

In the sign of unity in Christ and the prayer communication of the Dohohar Arkhangelsk Monastery and the reviving Archangel-Mikhailovsky monastery on the Zvetskyic caves in Kiev, an accurate copy of this ancient miraculous icon was written.

The icon of the Mother of the Mother "Spearburnish" in the Arkhangelo-Mikhailovsky Zverinetsky Monastery

First of all, in front of the Icon of the Mother of the Mother of the Mother "Spearlessness" pray for spiritual insight when a person is in confusion and does not know how to do, as well as in all cases when especially ambulance and effective assistance is needed.

The Most Holy Mother of God, through his icon, "Spearburnis" gives assistance in cure from various diseases, even oncological. Before it, it is hijacked by a prayer for children and about help in childbirth - about the birth of a healthy child, in front of various operations and the performance of particularly important cases.

Not once and not two had to experience the wonderful assistance to the Most Holy Virgin.

Somehow they asked the interiors of the temple of the Arkhangelo-Mikhailovsky Zverinetsky Monastery, where the most accurate list of the Athos Icons "Svopelist" is located. The temple itself is small, chamber; The conditions of shooting are such that you need to remove short-focus lenses and without additional lighting. Whoever tried, no one did not work at that time. Appealed to me. And I just had an aggravation of the disease of the spine - let me know how old injury after a serious accident. Yes, it was uncomfortable to deny the Vladyka to refuse, and I, overcome the pain, went.

Yes, it's not enough: no lens captured the ceiling. Then I lay down on the floor and began to take pictures, lying on my back. Outside the window - winter, frost, in the temple is not fan, and I'm lying on the concrete floor in one sweater and I do not feel at all ...

Conclusion

What distinguishes the Orthodox faith from other directions of Christianity? This is the worship of the holy icons. Although in Catholicism and some other denominations they do not reject them, but they are so widely recognized only in the Byzantine tradition. By numerous faces that look from each wall, decorate the altar, it is easy to distinguish the Orthodox church from any other.

Officially recognized images - thousands, among the Mother of God alone more than 600, and there are also non-canonic. But how to navigate in such a variety? This material will help dedicated to the icons of their meaning.


What do I need icons

Officially, Dogmat (truth, not subject to doubt) on the reverence of icons was established in 787, on the 2nd Nicene Cathedral. Until this time, the use of images has long been used in churches. The first images of the Lord Jesus Christ, Saints and Mother of God are known from the II century.

  • According to the church legend, the first iconist was one of the evangelists, namely - St. Luke.

Famous fathers of the Church - Vasily Great, John Zlatoust, John Damaskin - encouraged painters to portray the feats of martyrs for faith. But not everything was so unequivocal. For example, Eusevius Caesarian believed that a person was not able to display the divine nature of Christ.

Who is depicted in consecrated images:

  • Trinity (in the form of angels);
  • Lord Jesus Christ in his human incarnation;
  • Virgin;
  • Angels and other celestial forces;
  • Righteous, martyrs, reverend, etc.

Church icons have a completely definite purpose. This is not a decoration at all, not a reminder of eternal torments for sinners. Looking at them, believers should remember the prime, cultivate the feeling of love for the Creator in their souls.


About how icons wrote

Orthodox tradition are known hundreds of images of the Virgin. Where does the icon paints who lived long after the earthly life of Christ, could find out how she looks like? This was written church historians.

The appearance of the protigrum completely reflected her spiritual purity: she said with diligence, a voice even and pleasant, she was alien to anger and indignation. Her humility glowed in the eyes, the heart thought only about God, sought to him day and night. Middle height, with dark eyes, face slightly elongated, oblong nose and flowering lips, long fingers hands. But the main thing is that all authors are celebrated - Maria was truly a living house of the Holy Spirit, the Divine History, Grad of God.

  • The icons of the Virgin are designed primarily not to reflect the portrait similarity, but to describe in the colors its role in theology of Christianity, a high mission in saving people from eternal curse. And even more so they are not intended to perform certain wishes of human. This should be remembered by purchasing the next shrine.

Major Virgin Mary, mainly written in the same clothes:

  • omophore - a wide quadrangular cape, covering shoulders and head, they were wore married women in Judea, usually purple;
  • tunic - an extended dress with long sleeves, blue.

Mafori decorates three stars, they symbolize the navigation of Mary: before Christmas, after Christmas and during the birth of Christ. The instructions, like the clergy, designate the ministry to Christ.

Each consecrated image has its own history, often wonderful. In fact, it does not matter, before what kind of image it is to read prayer. The Lord penetrates the heart of a person, sees any movement of the soul. Therefore, it is important which thoughts from there come, and not how many times the pods and read prayers will be committed.

The icons of the Mother of God are most revered in Orthodoxy, their names, brief history, description of the composition and theological value you will find below.


Meaning and interpretation of the icons of the Mother of God

Kazan

Closely related to the fate of the Russian state. The acquisition occurred in Kazan, on the city ashiste, at the insistence of a local girl. In a dream, the Queen of Heavenly appeared and punished to find his image. It happened in the 16th century. Miracles began to be committed immediately after the shrine was transferred to the temple - two blinds were transparent. The local bishop of Hermogens, subsequently the All-Russian Patriarch, drawn up a story about wonderful phenomena.

It was this pious husband who subsequently blessed the militia to the battle with the invaders. The readable image was sent to battle with the People's Army. Then I found the Kazan intercession of nationwide fame. It is believed that the original was abducted from the monastery in Kazan, where he was kept, at the beginning of the 20th century. Thieves argued that they destroyed the shrine. But it is possible that it was sold and many believe that the Virgin Mary still twists his face to the Russian people.

  • It is a somewhat reduced version of "odigitria" - the Mother of God is depicted only on the shoulders. She slightly bowed her head to Christ, who is depicted in the famine, his right hand blesses praying.

The Kazan Mother of God blesses young after the wedding, also Kazan is often part of Triptychs with the Savior Lick and Nicholas.

Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God - meaning

One of the compositions whose author was the Apostle Luke (not literally, refers to the list from the original, which was once performed by the evangelist). He fell into Russia from Byzantium, like many other miraculous faces. At first, there was a female monastery near Kiev, then Andrei Bogolyubsky suffered it to Vladimir (1115), and the name appeared.

In the capital, the shrine solemnly crossed at the end of the 14th century. All the townspeople came to meet her, and at this place is the Sretensky Monastery (meeting - meeting). Moscow threatened troops Tamerlan. But completely unexpectedly they turned around, without reaching the destination. This was counted by the manifestation of the Mother of God.

But before these events, Vladimir was considered a miraculous, no wonder she had several days of memory - everyone testifies to heavenly protection from enemies. Now the relic can be seen in the Temple-Museum at the Tretyakov Gallery. A rare case, when such an ancient artifact managed to save, despite wars and revolutions.

They pray to get rid of the ailments, about reconciliation with the neighbors, helps Vladimir to get pregnant and wort the child.

Icon "Feacious Sky"

It appeared in Russia at the end of the 17th century, brought from Lithuania to the wife of one of the Moscow princes. The unusual composition - the Mother of God is captured in full growth, around it surrounds the sun's rays, on his left hand - a divine baby. On the heads of Mary and Christ - the royal crowns. Heavenly forces in the form of angels hide around.

Helps from mental flour, facilitates physical suffering. If the closest rushing from the true path come to pray before the "fertile sky." Particularly revered in the capital of Russia, because it has long been in one of the cathedrals of the Kremlin.

"The recovery of the dead"

Dated 17 V. It became famous for the history of a certain monk of Theophilus, who made a deal with the devil, but later repent and was passing for the Queen of Heaven. True, it had to pray for it to pray.

There is also a case when a certain peasant dug during a snowy storm. He was already preparing to die when local residents were discovered. The horse was lucky unhappy right to the goal, and people heard a voice in the house, who called on to meet the guest.

The composition is interesting because the Godhead is depicted in full growth, his bare feet rest on the mother's thigh. He is dressed in a white shirt (symbol of the purity of the soul), Choo firmly hugs the Virgin Mary for the neck. She gently leaned toward her son. The Mother of God sends on the throne. Praying covers a sense of lunizing when he sees a gentle love that binds Mary and Christ.

Before the "recovery of the victims", sinners, drunkards, drug addicts, are dismissed. She helps with headaches, facilitates the state of epileptics, saves children from severe diseases.

"Allzaritsa"

The famous image from the watopadian monastery on Athos became famous in the 17th century. One young man who was fond of witchcraft came to test his "forces." But the Queen of Heavenly repelled him away. When a young man came to himself, he immediately repent.

Known "Allzaritsa" and what assists oncological patients, especially children. Rossi is a list specifically made on Athos. He stays in Moscow, in the temple of the Alekseevsky monastery, sometimes transported to a chapel at the Children's Oncology Center (Kashirskoye Highway). They are dismissed in front of the "adolescence" of those who carried the wicked, black magic, fortunate. These are very terrible sins, today, unfortunately, many are fond of.

The composition dates back to "odigitria" - here the Mother of God also points to Jesus Christ. She sends on the throne in the royal robe. On Christ, the scarlet cape, the shirt is green. In his left hand, he holds a scroll, the rousers bless with the right. Angels are circling behind the throne, one folded his hands in prayer, the other raises them in a greeting gesture.

A exact copy was sent to Moscow, which began to make peace, then to exude healing. The owners passed the shrine in the temple, having considered that everyone should have access to it.

For a Christian, spiritual health is very important. When the soul covers ugly, the consequences will be a lack of forces, reluctance to work and even just live. The Queen of Heaven will help to get out of this dangerous state. They turn to the "sinful sporchintern" also to solve family difficulties in diseases.

Mostly Virgo is depicted here on the belt, the Boggladère holds his mother by his hand. This indicates a close relationship between God and all of the human. The Mother of God and Christ on chapters have the royal crowns - the influence of Western style is manifested in this, since the "sinning sporicular" comes from Ukraine or Belarus.

"Helper in childbirth"

The sensible lick is in Serpukhov. From where and when the image appeared is unknown. The image is rare on the composition - refers to the type of immaterial. On him, the baby is depicted in front of the Virgin, he is concluded in a certain aura, over which Maria stretches his hands.

"Burning bush"

The most ancient sample today can be seen in the weapon ward, it dates back to 17 century.

Cupina is a black bush, in one of the biblical chapters it is narrating how Moses was the Lord in the fiery bay. A symbolically ungablous bush denotes the Queen of Heaven, who was able to preserve spiritual purity in the middle of the sinful world.

The composition is very complex, contains a lot of characters designed to disclose all the prophecies about the Virgin Mary and the Savior. In the center - the Virgin Odigitria. At her breast, the staircase leading to heaven, which I saw Jacob. The evangelicals are symbolically shown in the form of an angel, eagle, lion and calf.

On one of the Greek islands there is a tradition - on the day of the Annunciation, parishioners bring bouquets of fresh lilies to the temple. They stay in the temple until the end of the summer, when another great Virgin Mary holiday is celebrated - Assumption. On this day, a miracle happens - the dried lilies again dismiss buds! In memory of the wonderful events and written "unfading color".

In Russia, a copy of the Greek image appeared between the 17th and 18th centuries. Iconography is most likely western origin. Mostly Virgo Deva gently holds the baby of Christ. He picks his right hand in a blessing gesture. The preching slightly bowed her head to her son. In the guard of the queen Heavenly holds white flowers (sometimes you depict grapes or scarlet roses, but it was white Lilia who presented the Archangel Gabriel Mary on the day of the Annunciation).
