• Appearance of the Icon of the Mother of God "THE SMOLENSK DIRECTRESS" from Constantinople (1046)
The Smolensk “Hodigitria” Icon of the Theotokos, or “She who leads the way,” was, according to Church Tradition, painted by the holy Evangelist Luke during the earthly life of the Most Holy Theotokos. Holy Hierarch Demetrius of Rostov suggests that this icon was written at the request of Theophilus, the prefect of Antioch. From Antioch, the holy image was transferred to Jerusalem. From there, Empress Eudokia, the wife of Emperor Arcadius, gave it to Pulcheria, the sister of the emperor, at Constantinople. Pulcheria put the holy icon in the Blachernae Church. In 1046, Byzantine Emperor Constantine IX Monomachos gave his daughter, Anna, in marriage to Prince Vsevolod Yaroslavich, the son of Yaroslav the Wise. He used this icon to bless her on her journey. After the death of Prince Vsevolod, the icon was given to his son, Vladimir Monomachos, who transferred it at the beginning of the twelfth century to the Smolensk Cathedral in honor of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos. From that time onwards, the icon was known as the Smolensk Hodigitria. In 1238, the Orthodox warrior Mercurius invaded the camp of Batu and killed many of the enemy. Having accepted a martyr’s death in battle, Mercurius was included by the Church in the ranks of the Saints. In the fourteenth century, Smolensk came into the possession of the Lithuanian princes. Sophia, the daughter of Prince Vitovt, was given in marriage to Moscow Great Prince Basil Dimitrievich. In 1398, she brought the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God with her to Moscow. The holy image was placed in the Annunciation Cathedral in the Kremlin, on the right side of the Royal Doors. In 1456, at the request of Bishop Misael and the citizens of Smolensk, the icon was solemnly returned to Smolensk in a procession, with two identical copies remaining in Moscow. One was put in the Annunciation Cathedral, and the other, “a measure for measure,” was put in the Novodevichi Monastery, founded in memory of the return of Smolensk to Russia. The monastery was built on Devichi Pole (Virgin’s Field), where “with many tears” the Muscovites handed over the holy icon to Smolensk. In 1602 an exact copy was written from the wonderworking icon, which was then placed in the tower of the Smolensk Fortress over the Dneprovsk Gates, under a specially constructed cover. In 1727, a wooden church was built there, and in 1802, a stone church replaced the wooden church. The new copy of the icon took on the power of the old image, and when the Russian armies left Smolensk on August 5, 1812, they took the icon with them in defense of the enemy forces. On the eve of the Battle of Borodino they carried this icon through the camp to encourage and inspire the soldiers. The ancient image of the Smolensk Hodigitria that was taken to the Dormition Cathedral on the day of the Battle of Borodino went in procession with the Iveron and Vladimir Icons of the Mother of God through the Belo and Kitai quarters and the Kremlin walls. It was then sent to the sick and wounded at the Lefortovo Palace. After leaving Moscow, the icon was taken to Yaroslavl. These sister-icons were preserved, and the Mother of God defended Russia through Her icons. After the victory over the enemy forces, the Hodigitria Icon was returned to Smolensk together with its glorified copy. The celebration in honor of this wonderworking icon on July 28 was established in 1525 in memory of the return of Smolensk to Russia. There exist many venerated copies of the Smolensk Hodigitria, for which the celebration is set on this day. On November 5, a day of celebration for the Smolensk Icon is also celebrated commemorating when this image was returned to Smolensk on the orders of the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, M. I. Kutuzov. In memory of the expulsion of the enemy from Russia, it was decided to celebrate this day annually at Smolensk. The holy icon of the Hodigitria Mother of God is one of the chief holy objects of the Russian Orthodox Church. Believers have received and continue to receive abundant grace. Through Her holy icon, the Mother of God intercedes for and strengthens us, guiding us on the way to salvation, and we call out to Her, “Thou art the All-Blessed Hodigitria for faithful peoples, Thou art the affirmation, the Praiseworthy of Smolensk and all the Russian land. Rejoice, Hodigitria, salvation of Christians!”
• Icon of the Mother of God of USTIUSHNA (1290) the Reverence list of an "Smolensk" Icon
Glorified by many miracles, in the thirteenth century, the Ustiushna Icon of the Mother of God was located in the town of Ustiushna. At the beginning of the seventeenth century, the citizens of Ustiushna prayed for salvation before this holy icon, and were delivered from invasion by the Swedes and Polish armies.
• Icon of the Mother of God of VYDROPUSSK (1471) the Reverence list of an "Smolensk" Icon
In the fifteenth century, the Vydropussk Hodigitria Icon of the Mother of God was located in the Church of the Great Martyr George in the village of Vydropussk, Novgorod. During a fire in the church, this holy icon remained undamaged. After the taking of Novgorod by Great Prince Ivan III, his army returned with the icon to Moscow. When the first service of thanksgiving was served before the stolen holy icon, and upon the reading of the words of the Gospel: “...and returned to Her own house” (Luke. 1:56), a strong wind came upon the group, the canopy of the church opened, the Icon of the Mother of God was raised up in the air and miraculously transported back to the church in Vydropussk. The guilty thief of the holy icon repented and came on foot to Vydropussk begging the Mother of God to forgive him. In the sixteenth century, this holy icon was again taken to Moscow, and from it an exact copy was made for the church in Vydropussk. The original was placed in the Church of the Transfiguration in Torzhek.
• Icon of the Mother of God of VORONINSK (1524) the Reverence list of an "Smolensk" Icon

• Icon of the Mother of God of “St CHRISTOPHER” (1555) the Reverence list of an "Smolensk" Icon
In 1555, the Icon of the Mother of God “of St Christopher” was placed in the church of the monastery founded by St Christopher of Solvychegodsk, a disciple of St Longinus of Koryazkemsk. This icon was glorified by many miracles, and near the monastery a spring of healing water flows from the earth. The St Christopher Icon is one of the Hodigitria type.
• Icon of the Mother of God of SUPRASL (16th c.) the Reverence list of an "Smolensk" Icon
The possible date of the founding of the monastery in Suprasl is 1498. The foundation of the monastery was confirmed by the Patriarch of the Constantinople Joachim in 1505. In the second half of the sixteenth century, the monastery was the centre of spiritual and cultural life. The Suprasl Icon of the Theotokos dates back to 1503. It was commissioned by the Bishop of Smolensk, Jozef Sołtan (later Metropolitan of Kiev), one of the founders of the Suprasl Monastery. The icon was a copy of the one in Smolensk that had been written in the eleventh century. The Suprasl Icon was one of the most venerated images of Mother of God in the region through many centuries, as many miracles and healings are ascribed to it. During the First World War, the icon was taken by the monks to Russia in order to escape the invading Germany armies. It was later found destroyed. The current icon in Suprasl is a copy that was written 100 years ago for the 400th anniversary of the monastery. Both Orthodox and Catholics piously reverence it. In the 20th century, the monastery suffered hard times. In 1919, it was taken over by the state. The buildings were afterwards given to the school of agriculture. Only in 1984 was the monastery reestablished. In 1993, by the decision of the government, the monastery was given back to the Church. From that time, active reconstruction has taken place. The Church of the Annunciation is still being rebuilt. Approximately 20 monks currently live in Suprasl. The icon is one of the Hodigitria type.
• Icon of the Mother of God of YUGA (1615) the Reverence list of an "Smolensk" Icon
The Wonderworking Yuga Icon of the Mother of God appeared at the beginning of the seventeenth century to the Elder St Dorotheus, schemamonk of the Pskov Caves Monastery. During an invasion of the Swedes, the Theotokos commanded him to take the icon to Yaroslav and to start a monastery there. The abbot of the monastery would not agree to give up the Icon of the Mother of God, but She appeared to him in a vision commanding him to fulfill Her will. Elder Dorotheus came to the place specified in the vision, stopped to rest, and placed the holy icon upon a tree. When he attempted to resume his journey, some invisible power prevented him from taking the holy icon from the tree. St Dorotheus realized that the Queen of Heaven wanted to remain in this place. He then built a small hut and stayed near the icon. News of the Elder’s arrival quickly spread throughout the surrounding villages. Pilgrims came to venerate the holy icon, from which many healings took place. The pious local inhabitants collected money, and construction of a new monastery began. St Dorotheus died in 1622. Clergy presented accounts of the miracles to Patriarch Philaret and received his blessing to establish a monastery at the River Yuga with the church being dedicated to the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos. The monastery became known as the Yuga. In 1654, by the intercession of the Mother of God, a deadly plague was halted in same place.
• Icon of the Mother of God of IGRITSA near Costroma (1624) the Reverence list of an "Smolensk" Icon
In 1624, the Holy Igritsa Icon of the Mother of God appeared in Igritsa at the River Pesochna not far from the city of Kostroma. Local peasants found the icon in an old half-ruined church. The church had been neglected for over fifty years after a deadly plague. The icon stood on the altar and shone with bright hues, as though newly painted. After the first service of thanksgiving was served in front of this holy icon, a nobleman’s blind son gained his sight. Four devout Christians stayed to live around the desolate church and took monastic vows. At the place of the appearance of the icon of the Mother of God, a new church and a monastic community emerged.
• Icon of the Mother of God of SHUI (1654-1655) the Reverence list of an "Smolensk" Icon
The Holy Hodigitria Icon of the Mother of God, named the Shui, appeared in the city of Shui in Vladimir at the very height of a raging deadly epidemic in 1654-1655. The inhabitants of the city gathered in prayer in the churches, beseeching the mercy of the Lord. A pious parishioner in the Church of the Resurrection discussed the possibility of commissioning a copy of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God to place it in the church. The icon was written in seven days, during which time the inhabitants of Shui fasted and prayed fervently to the Mother of God. Having partaken of the Holy Mysteries, the citizens, along with a priest, carried the newly written icon into the church. From that time onwards, the deadly plague ended. In 1831, through the intercession of the Mother of God, a cholera epidemic at Shui ceased. From this holy icon a young boy received healing from demonic possession, as did many of the sick.
• Icon of the Mother of God of SEVEN LAKES (17th c.) the Reverence list of an "Smolensk" Icon
The Seven Lakes (Sedmiezernaya) Icon of the Mother of God was glorified by great miracles in the seventeenth century in the area around the city of Kazan. This holy icon was in the Seven Lakes Hermitage near the city of Kazan. Originally, seven small lakes surrounded the monastery, but these later merged into one large body of water. The monk Euthymius, founder of the Seven Lakes Monastery, brought the wonderworking Icon of the Mother of God from Great Ustiug near Kazan on October 13, 1615. He placed the icon in the church of the newly established monastery. In the middle of the seventeenth century, a deadly plague raged throughout Russia, eventually reaching Kazan. 48,000 people died within a short time, which included almost all the inhabitants of the city. A pious monk had a vision in a dream at that same time – a radiant man appeared to him and ordered that the citizens should establish a seven-day fast and go out to meet the icon of the Mother of God which was coming to them from the Seven Lakes Hermitage for their deliverance. The monk told the authorities about the vision, and the Seven Lakes Icon was brought through the city gates in a procession. After circling the city, it was placed in the Church of the Annunciation. After an All Night Vigil and Liturgy the next morning, the icon was carried to each of the homes in the wooden city. After seven days of prayer and processions, the deadly plague ended. When the monks asked for the icon to be returned, a decision was made to celebrate an All Night Vigil, then to carry the icon in procession back to the hermitage. However, a heavy snowstorm came up, which prevented them from leaving the church. A decision was made to let the holy icon remain in Kazan for a time. It was returned to the Seven Lakes Monastery in 1655. Today’s Feast commemorates a second deliverance of Kazan from a plague in 1771. Orthodox inhabitants of Kazan and the surrounding area deeply revere this holy icon, and receive healing from sickness and help in misfortune from the Mother of God. The Seven Lakes Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos is also commemorated on October 13 and June 26.
• The Icon of the Mother of God "SERGIEVSK" at Troitsk-Sergievsky Lavra (1730) the Reverence list of an "Smolensk" Icon
The Holy Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God is located at the Holy Trinity Sergiev Lavra in the Smolensk church on the left side of the Royal Doors. From this icon in 1730 there a cantor, whose hands were bent and rigid to the back, received healing. The Mother of God appeared to him in a vision and healed him. This occurrence was attested to by physicians.
• The Icon of the Mother of God of “GREBEN” (1380)
The Greben Icon of the Mother of God was glorified by miracles and located in a church in the city of Greben (on the River Chira, flowing into the Don). The inhabitants of the city presented it to Great Prince Demetrius of the Don upon his return from the Battle of Kulikovo in 1380. In 1471, after a successful campaign against Novgorod, Great Prince Ivan III built the church of the Dormition in Moscow at Lubyanka and placed in it the Greben Icon of the Mother of God, which he had taken with him on the campaign. He adorned the icon with a silver riza covered with precious stones, and ordered an Akathist to be written in honor of it. When the church burned in 1617, the icon miraculously was preserved. The distinctive folds of the Virgin’s omaphorion and the position of the Christ Child’s legs identify the icon, which is almost a reverse image of the Iveron icon.
• Icon of the Mother of God of COSTROMA (1672)
The Kostroma Hodigitria Icon of the Mother of God was painted in 1672 on the wall of the southwest tower of the Kostroma Theophany monastery. In 1779 a great conflagration occurred at the monastery, and the tower was all enveloped by flames, but the holy Icon of the Mother of God did not suffer from the fire. In the year 1824 a church was built at the tower.
• Icon of the Mother of God of WHITE LAKE
The White Lake Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos resembles the Vladimir Icon in appearance. It was originally in the cell of St Cyril of White Lake, who often prayed before it. One day, while chanting the Akathist before the icon, the Mother of God appeared to St Cyril and told him to establish a monastery on White Lake. The Archangels Michael and Gabriel are seen on either side of the Virgin’s head, and various saints are depicted around the border. The White Lake Icon is also commemorated on June 8.
• Icon of the Mother of God “OF TENDERNESS” from SERAPHIM-DIVEYEVO (1885) before which St Seraphim reposed
The Seraphim-Diveyevo “Tenderness” Icon of the Mother of God belonged to St Seraphim of Sarov, and was with him in his cell. With the oil from the lampada, which burned before this holy icon, St Seraphim anointed the sick, who received healing after the anointing. St. Seraphim died while at prayer before this icon on January 2, 1833. After his death, the monastery’s Superior, Father Niphon, gave the holy “Tenderness” icon to the sisters of the Seraphim-Diveyevo Monastery.
