Icon of the Mother of God of Syamsk
The Syamsk Icon of the Mother of God was found at the
Syamsk-Vologda monastery, established in the sixteenth century. In the
year 1542, during a fire at the monastery, only the wonderworking icon
was saved. After the fire, the monastery was rebuilt.
In the year
1770, a church was built at the monastery in honor of the Nativity of
the Most Holy Theotokos, and in it was placed this wonderworking icon.
