Church legends say that the first icon of the Mother of God appeared in the VI century.
According to the legend, the monk Feofil, slandered and banished from the house of the bishop, harbored a great resentment in his soul. He turned away from God and His Mother and entered into an alliance with the devil. But on the verge of spiritual death Feofil was frightened of what he had done and hotly asked the Mother of God for salvation, calling it.
The Most Holy Mother, having heard his sincere prayers, accepted the sincere repentance of the fallen, granted forgiveness and freed from obligations to the devil. The saved Theophilus dedicated the rest of his life to the service of God and was glorified in the face of saints.
