The icon of the Savior is the central image in Orthodoxy. From the earliest times it was kept in every house. She was especially loved and honored, because this is the image of the Lord. There are many images of the Savior. And most of them are given a miraculous power. Icons radiate peace and exude perfumes. They cure many ailments, not only spiritual, but also physical.
The Kazan icon of the Mother of God is one of the most revered icons in Russia. It was discovered in 1579 in Kazan, where it took its name. According to the testimony of the patriarch Hermogen, who at that time still served as a priest in Kazan, after the great fire that occurred in the city, the 9-year-old girl Matrona in a dream appeared to be the Most Pure, who ordered her to find her image in the ruins left after the fire. The icon was soon found in the place indicated by the Mother of God. Since then, this day - July 8, 1579, is celebrated and celebrated annually by the Orthodox Church. On the site where the icon was found, a female monastery was built, and the girl, who appeared to the Most-Holy Theotokos, became the first nun in it.
