Afterfeast of Dormition of the Mother of God
• Commemoration of the Appearance of the Theotokos at Panteleimon Monastery (1903) PHENOMENON OF LIGHT-PAINTED IMAGE OF MOTHER OF GOD — Photo of the Virgin Mary Was Taken in Mount Athos
The first-ever photo studio on Mount Athos appeared at the Russian Saint Panteleimon Monastery in the early 1870's. With the blessing of the elders, all events in the life of the monks were recorded on film. The photo history of the Russian Monastery lasted till the 1930's, but it gradually fell into decay due to lack of money. The Monastery’s pride is the negative of the photo above showing the giving of bread to poor monks, among whom they consider to be the Mother of God herself dressed as an abbess of the Holy Mountain. The photograph above was taken on August 21/September 3, 1903 and released in 1997 from the archives of the Russian Athonite Monastery of Saint Panteleimon. It was taken as a souvenir photograph of an old custom: the Russian Monastery would give alms to the poor monks who lived in the Cells. At the time it had been decided that this custom of giving alms to the poor monks would not be repeated the next year because the reserves of the Monastery had fallen. What may have contributed to this was the bad situation in Russia, which reduced donations to the Monastery. Monk Gabriel, the photographer, decided to photograph this event for the last time to commemorate it. However, he noticed, amid the fathers, a woman moving in a wondrous manner. He therefore photographed the scene, and the woman that he alone saw was imprinted on the photographic paper in a flash.
According to the chronicle of the Monastery:
On August 21, 1903, as poor monks were receiving alms at the gates of Saint Panteleimon Monastery, Monk Gabriel took a photograph. When the photograph was developed the image of the Mother of God appeared miraculously to the left of the picture, humbly receiving a blessed crust of bread. Not long before, several brothers had clearly seen the Holy Virgin among the monks at the gate and wanted to tell the gatekeepers about it, but on the day the picture was taken no one had seen Her.
The fathers concluded that the All-Holy Virgin, who is the abbess over all the monks and ascetics of the Holy Mountain, was sad over the fact that it was decided this was the last time alms would be given to the poor monks by the Monastery, so they withdrew their decision to stop this act of charity.
The phenomenon of the Light-Painted image of the Mother of God was prayerfully venerated on September 3 by the brethren of the Athonite St. Panteleimon’s Monastery, reports Russian Athos. As is known, the Most Holy Theotokos miraculously appeared on August 21/September 3, 1903 in the Russian St. Panteleimon’s Monastery on Mt. Athos. A photograph was taken at the Holy Gates of the monastery during the distribution of alms, which subsequently revealed an imprinted image of the Mother of God receiving charity as if one of the poor brethren from the hands of an elder monk. The Athonites believe that the miracle of the appearance of the Most Holy Theotokos during the distribution of alms is evidence of the Mother of God fulfilling the oath she gave to protect her earthly lot, the Holy Mountain. Her 1903 appearance, they consider, falls with an unbroken chain of such miraculous events, taking place at various times in the history of the Holy Mountain. By Her appearance, the Most Holy Theotokos supported the Russian monastery’s continued almsgiving, providing solace to the hermits, and silently inspired wisdom among the elders of the Kinot [governing council], confirming her heavenly governance of Mt. Athos and her perpetual care. In 2012, a report by St. Panteleimon’s Monastery on the celebration of the Light-Painted Icon of the Mother of God was delivered to the Kinot, at its request, and confirmed by the blessing of then-abbot Fr. Jeremiah. The icon was then included in the official list of miracle-working icons of Mt. Athos, and its feast day is now among the recognized panegyrics [feasts of praise] of Mt Athos. In 2013, during a meeting of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church at the Kiev Caves Lavra, held on the icon’s feast day, it was also included in the calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church. One of the first churches in honor of the Light-Painted image of the Mother of God outside of Mt. Athos was opened in the same year in Kiev. Veneration of the miraculous event has spread throughout various dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church. It is especially venerated by the Orthodox faithful in Kohtla-Järve, Estonia, where there occurred a secondary appearance of the Light-Painted image of the Mother of God, similar to the image of the Lord Not-Made-By-Hands.
