Description
The miraculous icon of the Most Holy Virgin of Bethlehem (Παναγίας της Βηθλεεμίτισσας) is located in the Basilika of the Nativity of Christ in Bethlehem in a special place of veneration near the entrance to the Holy Cave in which Christ was born.
The icon is known for its sweet eyes and calm small which brings joy and sweetness to the hearts of the faithful. It is of unknown origin, though it is said it has its origins in Russia and was probably brought to Bethlehem by Tsarina Catherine the Great. The Holy Virgin had performed a miracle for Catherine, so Catherine donated her imperial jewelery to adorn the “Mistress of the World”.
The holy icon of Panagia of Bethlehem celebrates on December 26, which is the feast of the Synaxis of the Theotokos.
