• Icon of the Mother of God of POCHAEV (1675) 波恰耶夫
This celebrated event in the history of Ukraine also involved the appearance of St Job of Pochaiv. Eye-witnesses at the monastery saw the artillery being shot at it turn back and fall upon the invaders. It is interesting that the monastery later received several Turkish converts from among the soldiers who were there at that time who were baptized and tonsured into the monastic state. The miracle of the appearance of the Most Holy Mother of God occurred following the singing of the first Kontakion of the Akathist to the Theotokos. Ever afterwards, that Kontakion became a much-loved and recited prayer in and of itself among Ukrainians.
The Pochaev Icon of the Mother of God is among the most sacred items in the Orthodox Church. Located at the Dormition Cathedral in Pochaev, Ukraine, the icon is renowned in Slavic countries and is venerated by Orthodox Christians throughout the world. Christians of other confessions also come to venerate the wonderworking image of the Most Holy Theotokos, together with the Orthodox. The wonderworking icon has been kept at the Pochaev Lavra, an ancient bastion of Orthodoxy, for approximately 400 years. The miracles which have come from the holy icon are numerous and are testified to in the monastery books with the signatures of the faithful who have been delivered from unclean spirits, liberated from captivity, and sinners brought to their senses. In 1721, Pochaev was occupied by Uniates. Even in this difficult time for the Lavra, the monastery chronicles note 539 miracles from this glorified Orthodox icon. During the time of the Uniate rule in the second half of the eighteenth century, for example, the Uniate nobleman, Count Nicholas Pototski, became a benefactor of the Pochaev Lavra. Having accused his coachman of overturning the carriage with frenzied horses, the count took out a pistol to shoot him. The coachman, turning towards Pochaev Hill, reached his hands upwards and cried out: "Mother of God, manifest in the Pochaev Icon, save me!" Several times Pototski tried to shoot the pistol, but the weapon misfired, and the coachman remained alive. Pototski ran to the wonderworking icon and devoted himself and all his property to the building-up of the monastery. From his wealth the Dormition Cathedral was built, as well as buildings for the brethren. The return of Pochaev to the bosom of Orthodoxy in 1832 was marked by the miraculous healing of the blind maiden, Anna Akimchukova, who had come on a pilgrimage together with her seventy-year-old grandmother from Kremenets-Podolsk, 200 miles away. In memory of this event, the archbishop of Volhynia, as well as Lavra Archimandrite Innocent, established the reading of the Akathist on Saturdays before the wonderworking icon. During the time of Archimandrite Agathangelus, Archbishop of Volhynia, in the nineteenth century, a separate chapel was constructed in the galleries of the Holy Trinity Church in memory of the victory over the Tatars, which was dedicated on July 23, 1875. The celebration in honor of the Pochaev Icon of the Mother of God on July 23 was established in memory of the deliverance of the Dormition Lavra Monastery from a Turkish siege on July 20-23, 1675. During the war with the Turks in the summer of 1675, Tartar regiments invaded Pochaev, surrounding the monastery on three sides. The weak monastery walls and its stone buildings did not offer much defense against a siege. The abbot, Joseph Dobromirsky, urged the monks and laypeople to pray to their heavenly intercessors: the Most Holy Theotokos and St Job of Pochaev. The monks and the laypeople prayed fervently, prostrating themselves before the wonderworking icon of the Mother of God and the reliquary with the relics of St Job. At sunrise on the morning of July 23, as the Tatars were planning an assault on the monastery, the abbot ordered that an Akathist to the Theotokos be sung. At the opening words, "O Queen of the Heavenly Hosts," the Most Holy Theotokos suddenly appeared over the church, in "an unfurled gleaming-white maphorion," with angels holding unsheathed swords. St Job stood beside the Mother of God, bowing to Her and beseeching Her to defend the monastery. Becoming terrified at the sight of the holy army, the Tatars shot arrows at the Most Holy Theotokos and St Job. However, the arrows fell backwards and wounded those who shot them. In panic and without looking, the enemy trampled upon and killed each other. The defenders of the monastery pursued them and took many prisoners. Afterwards, some of the prisoners accepted Christianity and remained at the monastery. The Pochaev Icon is also commemorated on Friday of Bright Week and on September 8.
• COMMEMORATION OF THE MIRACULOUS APPEARANCE OF THE MOTHER OF GOD AT POCHAEV, which saved the Monastery from the assault of the Tatars and Turks
The celebration in honor of the Pochaev Icon of the Mother of God on July 23 was established in memory of the deliverance of the Dormition Lavra Monastery from a siege by the Turks on July 20-23, 1675. In the summer of 1675 during the Zbarazhsk War against the Turks, in the reign of Polish King Jan Sobesski, regiments composed of Tatars under the command of Khan Nurredin fell upon the Pochaev Monastery and surrounded it on three sides. The weak monastery walls and its stone buildings did not offer a defense against the siege. The abbot, Joseph Dobromirsky, urged the monks and lay people to pray to the Most Holy Theotokos and St Job of Pochaev. The monks and the lay people prayed fervently, prostrating themselves before the wonderworking icon of the Mother of God and the reliquary with the relics of St Job. At sunrise on the morning of July 23, as the Tatars were planning an assault on the monastery, the abbot directed that an Akathist to the Theotokos be sung. At the opening words, “O Queen of the Heavenly Hosts”, the Most Holy Theotokos suddenly appeared over the church, in “an unfurled gleaming-white omophorion,” with angels holding unsheathed swords. St Job stood beside the Mother of God, bowing to Her and beseeching Her to defend the monastery. The Tatars began to shoot arrows at the Most Holy Theotokos and St Job, but the arrows fell backwards and wounded those who shot them. In panic and without looking, the enemy trampled and killed each other. The defenders of the monastery pursued them and took many prisoners. Afterwards, some of the prisoners accepted the Christian Faith and remained at the monastery.
• Icon of the Mother of God “JOY OF ALL WHO SORROW” 众哀伤者之欢乐 with coins ("With Petty Change") (1888) in St Petersburg
The Icon of the Mother of God “Joy of All Who Sorrow” (With Coins) was glorified in the year 1888 in St Petersburg. During a terrible thunderstorm, lightning struck a chapel in St Petersburg, Russia. Everything was burned or singed, except for this icon of the Queen of Heaven. It was knocked to the floor, and the box containing contributions for the poor broke open at the same time. Somehow, twelve small coins (half-kopeck pieces) became attached to the icon. A church was built in 1898 on the site of the chapel.

It is related, in Matthew 2:1-2, that wise men came from the East to worship the Infant Jesus. They were queried by Herod as to the child's whereabouts, found the child, "did him homage," and "offered him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh." Warned in a dream, they returned to their own country by a different route so that they did not have to report to Herod where Jesus could be found. Ancient tradition calls them "magi" and says there were three of them ― probably because of the three gifts ― named Balthasar, Caspar (Gaspar), and Melchoir. The Old Testament foretells that 'The kings of Tarshish and the islands shall bring tribute, the kings of Arabia and Seba offer gifts. May all the kings bow before him, all nations serve him. For he rescues the poor when they cry out, the oppressed who have no one to help . . . " (Psalm 72:10-12). By connecting this prophecy with the wisemen, Christians have decided that they must have been kings. Modern scholars, however, believe they were astrologers from Babylonia or Arabia. These three are the first non-Jews to have worshipped Jesus. Very early in the Christian era they became a favorite subject of Christian art, painted on the walls of a catacomb in the early second century. Early in the next century they were given their names. Artists began to paint one as a young king, another in mid-life, and the third as an old man. Later the artists reasoned that if they came from the east, at least one of them must have been a black man. A magnificent Medieval shrine in Cologne, Germany, contains their reputed bones. Soon Christians began to speculate on the significance of the three gifts. Gold obviously symbolized Jesus as a king himself. Frankincense for the devotion of the wise men to Jesus. But myrrh was used to embalm bodies: This gift foreshadowed Jesus's death on the Cross, the means of our salvation.

Prophet, son of Buzi, exiled to Babylon about 598 BC. He began to prophesy five years later and continued for over twenty years. His prophecies form one of the books of the Old Testament and are given in forty-eight chapters. After a vision of the glory of the Lord, under various symbols, he foretells the fall of Jerusalem, its transgression, and the mark of those who are to be saved. He utters the destruction that will come on pagan nations and prophesies the restoration of Theocracy. God will demand penance, triumph over Gog and Magog, and establish a new kingdom of His own in which the city will be called, "The Lord is there" (Ezechiel 48). He is often quoted by Saint John in the Apocalypse; indeed there are many points of similarity between the writings of the Prophet and of the Apostle. He was buried in the sepulchre of Sem and Arphaxad, ancestors of Abraham. Many people were in the habit of going to his tomb to pray.
