The Icon of Mother-of-God of Kazan.
The Icon of Mother-of-God of Kazan
The icon of Our Lady of Kazan is of special significance for the Orthodox. It is also venerated by Catholic believers, and the entire Christian world knows about its countless miracles.
The icon is famous for its complicated but interesting history, which dates back to the 13th century. According to the legend, it was originally brought from Constantinople. With the establishment of the Khanate of Kazan, it has suddenly vanished.
Yet, it reappeared more than 100 years later when Kazan and its citizens desperately needed the protection. Once the massive fire nearly destroyed the entire city in 1579, and the Virgin Mary paid a visit to a small girl in her dreams and revealed the exact location of the lost treasure.
After the inspection of the ruins of one building (exactly where Theotokos told the girl to look), the image has been acquired again. It had such a great power that helped to convert the local unbelievers to Christianity.
What are some miracles of this image?
There’s a belief among Russian Christians that Theotokos of Kazan is the patroness of the whole nation. Monarchs and generals prayed to it, the lands were liberated with its help, it led pioneers to the development of Siberia, and healed the sick.
The image helped children, women, and old people to get rid of multiple illnesses and solved their problems in different situations. Eventually, it became important for the entire nation.
Even nobility humbly asked for the help and protection of the Saint Mary. Thus, the prominent monarch of the, Peter the Great, prayed before the icon of Mother-of-God of Kazan before the Battle of Poltava. As we know, the military forces defeated the enemy’s army in that battle.
Nowadays, the image of Theotokos of Kazan is an inseparable part of any Christian home. One copy has been given to the International Space Station to assist the conquerors of space in the tasks.
