Commemorated on September 24
The Mirozh Icon appeared at the Mirozh monastery in the year 1198.
But later, during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, at a time when a
plague raged at Pskov, an ancient report tells how tears flowed from
both eyes of the icon. Many benefits and healings for man occured from
the icon of the Mother of God.”
The Mirozh Icon is an “Orans”
(“Praying”) type. On either side of the Most Holy Theotokos stand the
Pskov Saints: on the right, the holy Prince Dovmont-Timothy (May 20); on
the left, his wife, the holy nun Martha, in the world named Maria
Dimitrievna (November 8, 1300). Tsar Ivan Vasilievich took away the
wonderworking icon from Pskov, but at the monastery an exact copy
remained: the so-called “Great Panagia” from the Savior-Mirozh
monastery.
On September 24, 1567, on the Feast of Saint Abraham
at the Mirozh monastery there occurred a miraculous sign from an ancient
icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. The celebration of the Mirozh Icon of
the Sign was established in that same year, with the blessing of
Archbishop Pimen of Novgorod and Pskov. A special service to this icon
was composed, and was published in the 1666 MENAION.
