Description
The most famous and most revered miraculus icon of the Theotokos which the Holy Mountain possesse was, in the 9th century in the reign of Theophilus the Eikonomachos (Iconoclast), the personal property of a devout widow from Nicaea in Asia Minor, who kept it and honoured it in her private chapel. The Emperor’s men who got to hear of this decided not to carry out immediately the order about icons, but to start by trying to blackmail its rich owner. In the time which they gave her to collect the money they demanded, the widow took the icon and her dearly loved son and, after fervent prayer, took it to the sea and left it on the surface of the waves, so that it should not be defied by the iconolasts. The icon stood upright on the water and began to head towards the west, while the widow’s son, following her advice, also fled towards the west to escape persecution. Later he became a monk and died on the north-east coast of Athos near or in the Monastery of Clement, and so the anchorites round about heard from him the story of the icon.
