Where is the icon of the Mother of God the Deliverer? Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos “Deliverer from Troubles”: how it helps. Pilgrimages to the icon and petitions to the Mother of God “Deliverer”


_____________________________________________

Description of the icon of the Mother of God the Deliverer:
Glorification of the icon Holy Mother of God“Deliverer” began in 1841, when, through prayers before her, one of the Greek provinces got rid of a locust invasion. The miracles emanating from the icon of the Mother of God attracted many pilgrims to it, which burdened the guardian of the shrine, Elder Martinian, a former inhabitant of one of the Athos monasteries. Tired of human attention, the elder, together with the icon of the Mother of God, returned to Athos and settled in the monastery of the Holy Great Martyr Panteleimon. In 1889, the abbot of the monastery donated the miraculous icon of the Mother of God to Russia for the New Athos Simon-Kananitsky monastery opened in the Caucasus.

The Icon of the Mother of God “Deliverer” was carried by Emperor Alexander III on the train, returning to the capital with his family after a vacation in the south. As you know, the royal train met with a disaster, but the emperor himself and his household miraculously remained alive and unharmed. Members of the royal family associated their miraculous salvation with the patronage and intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos. In memory of the miraculous salvation of the Russian emperor and his family, the celebration in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “Deliverer” was established on October 17.

Some ancient images on the maforia of the Virgin Mary depict five-pointed stars - pentagrams. Since ancient times, the pentagram has meant “Chosenness, duty, loyalty.” Unfortunately, starting from the 16th century, the pentagram began to be used by Masonic organizations, and subsequently by communist ones, which led to the emergence of an ambiguous attitude towards this ancient pious symbol.

Icon of the Mother of God "Deliverer"

The Icon of the Mother of God "Deliverer" before it was brought to the New Athos Simon-Cananite Monastery in the Caucasus, was on Holy Mount Athos with the resident of the Russian Panteleimon Monastery, Schemamonk Martinian (+ 1884). The pious schema-monk received this icon from the ascetic Theodulus.
The holy icon has been famous for its miracles since ancient times. By praying before this icon in 1841, the inhabitants of Sparta (in Greece) got rid of locusts.

From the Panteleimon Monastery, according to the will of Schema-Archimandrite Macarius, this icon was transferred to Russia on July 20, 1889 for the New Athos Simon-Kananitsky Monastery opened in the Caucasus, and a festival was established in its honor on October 17. When the first celebration in honor of this icon took place at the Simon-Kananitskaya monastery, a storm washed up more than a ton of fish on the shore near the monastery.

The Icon of the Mother of God “Deliverer” was carried by Emperor Alexander III on the train, returning to the capital with his family after a vacation in the south. As you know, the royal train met with a disaster, but the emperor himself and his household miraculously remained alive and unharmed. Members of the royal family associated their miraculous salvation with the patronage and intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos. In memory of the miraculous salvation of the Russian emperor and his family, the celebration in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “Deliverer” was established on April 17.

As you know, in the Orthodox world there are quite a large number of revered saints. At the same time, there are also a huge number of miracles that the saints performed. With the help of prayer, many were healed from serious illnesses, and some found peace and happiness. Among all the saints, the miraculous icon of the Deliverer from troubles occupies a special place. People from all over the world come to her to ask for help. In this article we will look in more detail at what this icon is, what it helps with, and how it came to be.

History of the image

The Icon of the Mother of God, Deliverer from Troubles, was on Holy Mount Athos until 1889, after which it was transferred to the New Athos Simono-Kananitsky Monastery, which is located in the Caucasus. The holy icon has been famous for its miracles since ancient times. There is a story that in 1840 in Greece, with the help of prayer at this icon, they got rid of the locust scourge.

The celebration of the “Deliverer” icon is set for October 17. This date is associated with the rescue of Emperor Alexander II, who, while traveling by rail, was wrecked under the station. Thanks to prayers, not only the emperor was saved, but also his entire family.

It should be noted that the name of the icon is based on the faith of Christians. This image of the Mother of God relieves all who turn to her in prayer from troubles and misfortunes. The icon is located in the village of Tashla, which is located in the Samarov region. This village is quite pious and was commanded by God to be the location of the Shrine.

It was in this place in 1917, before terrible trials, that the icon reminded of Himself. Moreover, it is in this village that there is a miraculous spring. People say that water from it heals many diseases. There is a story that says that the Queen of Heaven appeared to a native of the village of Tashla, who temporarily lived in a neighboring village, in a dream and indicated the place where her image had to be dug out of the ground.

The girl told two friends about her dream. They decided to fulfill the will of the Queen and went to the indicated place to dig. During this process, a fairly large number of people gathered nearby to look at what was underway. Some even laughed at them. And suddenly, at one moment, everyone froze. The icon of the girl began to be visible from the ground. When it was completely excavated, a spring with healing water began to flow from the place where the Holy Face was located.

This is how the Tashlin Icon of the Deliverer from Troubles was found. While the icon was being transferred from the place of discovery to the temple, the first healing occurred. The girl Anna, who was 32 years old, kissed her face and suddenly felt a surge of strength. At that moment people were overcome with great joy. The icon was placed in the middle of the temple for worship.

But soon the priest D. Mitekin arrived. The icon miraculously disappeared before his arrival and no one could find it. The second appearance of the holy image miraculously occurred in 1917. She was in the same place near the spring where she was dug up. Believers gathered at the spring, but miraculously the icon was not given to the holy father. Then the father fell to his knees and with tears in his eyes began to pray for the forgiveness of all his sins.

Since then, the icon of the Deliverer from troubles has not left the village of Tashla for a long time. Today, as mentioned above, the miraculous image is located in the New Athos Simon-Kananitsky Cathedral, which is located at the foot of the holy Mount Athos.

Miracles created

There are many stories about a miracle created by an icon. One of them tells how a boy named Anastasy fell ill with a serious and incurable disease. But despite all the efforts and struggle of the parents and the baby with the disease, the boy got worse and worse. Seeing that nothing was helping the child, the parents asked the priest to give the baby communion. But the priest did not have time to visit the patient, and the boy died.

On the way to the sick man, the priest invited Martianin with him. He brought with him the icon of the Deliverer from troubles. The priest, not giving himself any peace that he was late to the child, began, together with Martinian, to pray to the Mother of God and ask her to help resurrect the child. Throughout the prayer, the icon was on Anastasia’s body. Everyone asked for this: the priest, the elder and the parents.

What do they pray to the Holy Image for?

Orthodox believers suffering from many problems and illnesses come to the face of the Mother of God to ask for help. According to church beliefs, the Most Holy Theotokos helps only the prayers of pure-spirited people. People most often pray to the icon of the Deliverer from troubles:

  • From getting rid of any addiction,
  • From getting rid of the torment brought by the disease,
  • About help in times of trouble,
  • About getting rid of mental sadness.

The prayer to the icon of the Deliverer is read in these words:

Mother of God, our help and protection, whenever we ask, be our deliverer, we trust in You and always call upon You with all our souls: have mercy and help, have pity and deliver, incline Your ear and accept our sorrowful and tearful prayers, and as you wish, calm and give joy to us who love your Beginning Son and our God. Amen .

May the Lord protect you!

Icon and prayer of the Mother of God “Deliverer from troubles”

Icon of the Mother of God “Deliverer from Troubles”

The mercy of the Mother of God is poured out on the earth through many revealed icons. Due to the weakness of human faith, in difficult times or on the eve of upheavals, the Mother of God sends Her images to call people to prayer and remind them of the limitations of human efforts without God. This is how the icon “Deliverer from Troubles” appeared in Russia, the history of whose wanderings and miracles shows the mercy and love of the Mother of God for the human race, Her patience and forgiveness of human sins.

Description of the icon of the Mother of God “Deliverer from Troubles.”

On the icon, the Most Holy Theotokos is depicted holding on her right hand the Infant God, blessing with her right hand.

The glorification of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos “Deliverer” began in 1841, when, through prayers before it, one of the Greek provinces got rid of an invasion of locusts. The miracles emanating from the icon of the Mother of God attracted many pilgrims to it, which burdened the guardian of the shrine, Elder Martinian, a former inhabitant of one of the Athos monasteries. Tired of human attention, the elder, together with the icon of the Mother of God, returned to Athos and settled in the monastery of the Holy Great Martyr Panteleimon. In 1889, the abbot of the monastery donated the miraculous icon of the Mother of God to Russia for the New Athos Simon-Kananitsky monastery opened in the Caucasus.

The Icon of the Mother of God “Deliverer” was carried by Emperor Alexander III on the train, returning to the capital with his family after a vacation in the south. As you know, the royal train met with a disaster, but the emperor himself and his household miraculously remained alive and unharmed. Members of the royal family associated their miraculous salvation with the patronage and intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos. In memory of the miraculous salvation of the Russian emperor and his family, the celebration in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “Deliverer” was established on October 17.

Some ancient images on the maforia of the Virgin Mary depict five-pointed stars - pentagrams. Since ancient times, the pentagram has meant “Chosenness, duty, loyalty.” Unfortunately, starting from the 16th century, the pentagram began to be used by Masonic organizations, and subsequently by communist ones, which led to the emergence of an ambiguous attitude towards this ancient pious symbol.

There is another version of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos “Deliverer,” which depicts the holy apostle Simon the Canaanite and the healer Panteleimon holding the icon of the Mother of God against the background of the New Athos Simon-Canaanite Monastery.

Before the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos “Deliverer” they pray for the healing of those suffering from demonic possession, from an invasion of locusts, for the healing of mental and physical infirmities in times of disaster, for the sending of grace-filled power in resolving difficult circumstances.

Prayer to the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos “Deliverer from troubles.”

O Mother of God, our help and protection, ever be our deliverer, we trust in You and always wholeheartedly call on You, have mercy and help, have pity and deliver, incline Your ear and accept our sorrowful and tearful prayers, and as you wish, calm and make us happy , loving Your beloved Son, to Him be glory, honor and worship, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.

As you know, in the Orthodox world there are quite a large number of revered saints. At the same time, there are also a huge number of miracles that the saints performed. With the help of prayer, many were healed from serious illnesses, and some found peace and happiness. Among all the saints, the miraculous icon of the Deliverer from troubles occupies a special place.

People from all over the world come to her to ask for help. In this article we will look in more detail at what this icon is, what it helps with, and how it came to be.

History of the image

The Icon of the Mother of God, Deliverer from Troubles, was on Holy Mount Athos until 1889, after which it was transferred to the New Athos Simono-Kananitsky Monastery, which is located in the Caucasus. The holy icon has been famous for its miracles since ancient times. There is a story that in 1840 in Greece, with the help of prayer at this icon, they got rid of the locust scourge.

The celebration of the “Deliverer” icon is set for October 17. This date is associated with the rescue of Emperor Alexander II, who, while traveling by rail, was wrecked under the station. Thanks to prayers, not only the emperor was saved, but also his entire family.

It should be noted that the name of the icon is based on the faith of Christians. This image of the Mother of God relieves all who turn to her in prayer from troubles and misfortunes. The icon is located in the village of Tashla, which is located in the Samarov region. This village is quite pious and was commanded by God to be the location of the Shrine.

It was in this place in 1917, before terrible trials, that the icon reminded of Himself. Moreover, it is in this village that there is a miraculous spring. People say that water from it heals many diseases. There is a story that says that the Queen of Heaven appeared to a native of the village of Tashla, who temporarily lived in a neighboring village, in a dream and indicated the place where her image had to be dug out of the ground.

The girl told two friends about her dream. They decided to fulfill the will of the Queen and went to the indicated place to dig. During this process, a fairly large number of people gathered nearby to look at what was underway. Some even laughed at them. And suddenly, at one moment, everyone froze. The icon of the girl began to be visible from the ground. When it was completely excavated, a spring with healing water began to flow from the place where the Holy Face was located.

This is how the Tashlin Icon of the Deliverer from Troubles was found. While the icon was being transferred from the place of discovery to the temple, the first healing occurred. The girl Anna, who was 32 years old, kissed her face and suddenly felt a surge of strength. At that moment people were overcome with great joy. The icon was placed in the middle of the temple for worship.

But soon the priest D. Mitekin arrived. The icon miraculously disappeared before his arrival and no one could find it. The second appearance of the holy image miraculously occurred in 1917. She was in the same place near the spring where she was dug up. Believers gathered at the spring, but miraculously the icon was not given to the holy father. Then the father fell to his knees and with tears in his eyes began to pray for the forgiveness of all his sins.

Since then, the icon of the Deliverer from troubles has not left the village of Tashla for a long time. Today, as mentioned above, the miraculous image is located in the New Athos Simon-Kananitsky Cathedral, which is located at the foot of the holy Mount Athos.

Miracles created

There are many stories about a miracle created by an icon. One of them tells how a boy named Anastasy fell ill with a serious and incurable disease. But despite all the efforts and struggle of the parents and the baby with the disease, the boy got worse and worse. Seeing that nothing was helping the child, the parents asked the priest to give the baby communion. But the priest did not have time to visit the patient, and the boy died.

On the way to the sick man, the priest invited Martianin with him. He brought with him the icon of the Deliverer from troubles. The priest, not giving himself any peace that he was late to the child, began, together with Martinian, to pray to the Mother of God and ask her to help resurrect the child. Throughout the prayer, the icon was on Anastasia’s body. Everyone asked for this: the priest, the elder and the parents.

What do they pray to the Holy Image for?

Orthodox believers suffering from many problems and illnesses come to the face of the Mother of God to ask for help. According to church beliefs, the Most Holy Theotokos helps only the prayers of pure-spirited people. People most often pray to the icon of the Deliverer from troubles:

  • From getting rid of any addiction,
  • From getting rid of the torment brought by the disease,
  • About help in times of trouble,
  • About getting rid of mental sadness.

The prayer to the icon of the Deliverer is read in these words:

Mother of God, our help and protection, whenever we ask, be our deliverer, we trust in You and always call upon You with all our souls: have mercy and help, have pity and deliver, incline Your ear and accept our sorrowful and tearful prayers, and as you wish, calm and give joy to us who love your Beginning Son and our God. Amen .

May the Lord protect you!

Orthodox akathist to the Mother of God, Deliverer from troubles: healing prayer

An ancient Russian Orthodox legend says that the icon of the Mother of God the Deliverer from troubles, the text of the akathist of which describes the miracles that took place through prayer at this holy icon, helps everyone who comes to it to get rid of even the most seemingly incurable diseases. It is believed that there are no diseases for which healing would not be subject to prayers before the icon of the Deliverer from Troubles of the Most Pure Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and the akathist is read by everyone who has lost hope of receiving salvation from earthly doctors. This solemn hymn not only praises the Mother of God, but also describes the circumstances of the glorification of Her miraculous image, as well as how it came to Russia.

Prayer to the Mother of God, Deliverer from the troubles of those who suffer, helps in various everyday sorrows

The history of the Mother of God Icon of the Deliverer from Troubles, whose prayer is included in almost every book of akathists, begins in 1841. At that time, the holy image belonged to the former inhabitant of one of the Athonite monasteries, monk Martinian. The area in which he lived was suddenly attacked by locusts, and only prayer before the image of the Deliverer helped get rid of it. This incident glorified the icon throughout the province, and pilgrims began to come to the elder.

The text of the akathist to the Mother of God, Deliverer from Troubles, says that Martinian, not accustomed to such a huge number of visitors who wanted to pray in front of the miraculous image, could not stand it and returned to Athos, taking the icon of the Mother of God with him.

You can also read the prayer of the Mother of God to the Deliverer from troubles in case of despondency and despair.

The Akathist to the Mother of God, Deliverer from Troubles, tells that before his death Martinian bequeathed the icon to the Russian New Athos Monastery. History testifies that one day, after a service in honor of this miraculous image, which was held at the Simon-Kananitskaya monastery, a huge amount of fish was thrown onto the seashore near the monastery.

The family of Emperor Alexander III, who survived the train accident, also received help from the Orthodox prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos, the Deliverer from troubles. In honor of this miraculous salvation, the celebration of the image was established, celebrated annually on October 30.

In the Orthodox world there are many shrines to which believers turn in search of salvation and protection. A huge number of miracles were performed by holy people. But no fewer of them belong to revered icons. The holy image can grant healing, deliver from temptations, bad feelings, unhappy events, revive hope and even save from death. Special place Among such shrines is the icon of the Mother of God “Deliverer from Troubles.”

History of the image

The first miracles from an icon in Greece

The image became known when in 1822 the Greek Hieromonk presented the icon of the “Deliverer” to his student Martinian. He tried to lead a hermit’s life, devoting all his time to prayer. Subsequently, Martinian always wore the icon of the Mother of God on his chest.

In 1844, Martinian walked past Sparta. Peasants and city residents suffered from a locust invasion. The monk called them to prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos. Immediately after the end of the prayer, the clouds of insects disappeared.

Since then, the fame of the icon has spread throughout the Orthodox world, and pilgrims began to come to Martinian. He did not refuse petitioners, but there were so many of them that the former hermit had no time left for prayer.

Arrival of the “Deliverer” in the Caucasus

Being a very old man, Martinian stayed at the Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos. After some time, he learned that a monastery was being built in the Caucasus, on the Black Sea coast. It was called New Athos because it copied the structures on the holy Mount Athos.

Many monks were inspired by this news and went to the new monastery to help the Caucasian brethren. Martinian also decided to contribute to the creation of a new monastery, and therefore bequeathed after his death to transfer the icon of the “Deliverer” to the New Athos Monastery.

The abbot brought her to his monastery in 1989. When the icon was taken to the coast of Abkhazia, hundreds of people greeted it with jubilation.

Then another miracle happened. The emperor and his family were vacationing in the Caucasus at that time. On this trip he visited many places, including the New Athos monastery. On the way back, near Kharkov, the imperial train crashed.

Not a single member of the royal family was harmed. This event was associated with the arrival of the icon of the Mother of God and an indicator of her mercy and protection.

Disappearance of an icon after the revolution

Icon of the Mother of God “Deliverer from Troubles” for a long time was in the New Athos Monastery, helping people. Forgivers from all over the world came to the Caucasus to venerate the icon and tell about their troubles and sorrows.

Prayer before the icon worked miracles, which were carefully recorded and confirmed by witnesses.

After 1917, the monks for some time managed to preserve the shrines and the old way of life. The monastery existed until 1924, and then was closed. To avoid robbery and ruin, the monks took with them images and church utensils. The icon of the Heavenly Queen was preserved by one of the Lord’s servants. He subsequently became a clergyman in Gudauta.

Pochaevskaya "Deliverer"

After the Great Patriotic War the icon of the “Deliverer” left the Caucasus. It is not known for certain where she is now.

But in 1992, a very similar image appeared in Ukraine. Nun Gabriela gave a small icon of the Mother of God to the Pochaev Lavra, where it remains to this day.

According to her, the priest of the Lavra gave her the “Deliverer” two decades earlier, ordering her to set it adrift. At that time, the monastery was under threat of ruin, and thus the minister wanted to save and preserve the icon. But the nun did not dare to take this step and kept the shrine with her all this time.

Appearance of the “Deliverer” in Tashla

In the distant village of Tashle, Samara Region, in 1917, the Mother of God again showed her wonderful image. A cell attendant named Ekaterina had a vision several times: two angels were lowering an icon of the Mother of God into a ravine. The Lord patiently repeated his message until Catherine and her two friends went to the ravine. Having found the place that the angels pointed to, the women began to dig a hole.

Fellow villagers reacted to this idea with skepticism and distrust. But then a miracle happened - Catherine took out of the ground a bright image of the Virgin Mary “Deliverer”.

The local priest took the shrine to the temple and served a prayer service, at which all the village residents gathered. One of the parishioners was immediately healed from a serious and prolonged illness.

At the place where the hole was dug, a spring began to flow. It was ennobled and people were allowed to plunge into the holy spring.

After 1917, the temple was under threat of ruin several times. The vandals removed the expensive frame from the icon, and wanted to destroy the image itself. But the brave villagers kept the icon for several years after the closure of the temple, passing it from hand to hand. After the Great Patriotic War, it was returned to the newly opened temple.

Marovskaya icon

At the end of the 19th century, another image of the “Deliverer” was painted in Jerusalem. It was decided to bring it back to Novgorod. But along the way, the icon became so heavy that they could not move it. The priest accompanying the image understood that the Lord was telling him, and therefore gave the icon to the Holy Cross Monastery in the nearest village of Mara. Where it is kept to this day.

What do they pray to the Holy Image for?

Already from the name it becomes clear that you can turn to the icon of the Mother of God “Deliverance from Troubles” in any difficult situation. The Heavenly Queen is always ready to listen to the person asking and help him if the prayer was sincere and his heart was pure.

Most often they pray to the Deliverer to:

  • get rid of alcohol or drug addiction;
  • to be healed from illness;
  • get help and support in a difficult situation;
  • comfort in sorrow and grief;
  • help children in illness or difficulty;
  • get rid of temptations and bad thoughts.

They also ask the Mother of God for the prevention of global catastrophes and salvation in them.

Images on the icons of the “Deliverer” and their meaning

On this icon the Mother of God is written in the image of a “Guide”. She holds the baby Jesus on her left hand and points to him with the finger of her right hand. Hence the name - the Mother of God, as it were, shows us the true path.

Other elements of the image are also interesting.

  • Mary's red and blue robe speaks of purity and majesty;
  • The white and gold robe of the Infant God speaks of divine holiness;
  • The baby holds a scroll in his hand - Old Testament which ended when the son of God appeared to the world;
  • The gold frame symbolizes the Divine light emanating from the image.

Pilgrimages to the icon and petitions to the Mother of God “Deliverer”

The most famous and revered icon in Russia is the Tashlin icon. For many years, pilgrims from all over the country have been traveling to the village of Tashla in the Samara region to venerate the shrine and bathe in the spring.

The icon is kept in a newly built church in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “Deliverer from the troubles of the afflicted,” next to which there is a source.

Every year, at the beginning of Peter's Lent, a procession of the cross takes place from Samara to Tashla to the famous and beloved shrine. People gather in Samara at the intersection of Tashkent and Democratic streets. In three days, pilgrims walk about 70 km.

Pilgrimage buses also go to the village from Samara, Penza, Togliatti, Volgograd, Uralsk, Kazan, Astrakhan and other cities.

Many miracles occur at this place, witnessed by local residents. The water that pilgrims collect from the spring also has healing powers.

Miracles created

Many miracles were performed at the command of God through the icon of the “Deliverer.” One of the most famous stories tells of a boy named Anastasy. At a young age he became seriously ill. The doctors could not help him. Seeing that the boy was getting worse, the parents asked the priest to give him communion.

On the way to Anastasius, the priest called Martinian with him, who took with him the icon of the “Deliverer”. Arriving at the patient, they discovered that he had died. The priest was very worried that he did not have time to give communion to the boy. Therefore, he began to pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary, asking to resurrect Anastasia. Martinian and the boy's parents joined the prayer. The icon was placed on his chest. After passionate prayer the priest overshadowed the boy’s body three times and suddenly he opened his eyes. The priest immediately administered communion to Anastasia and his illness went away.

The icon helped many people get rid of bad habits and terrible addictions, from various diseases and sinful thoughts.

After praying before the face of the Mother of God, believers note that their attitude towards life is changing for the better. They get rid of sorrows and fears, help you look at the current situation differently and boldly overcome any obstacle.

Prayer in front of such powerful shrines as the “Deliverer from Troubles” icon has always helped those asking if they approached it with pure thoughts and sincerity. Thus, the Lord shows us that He is always ready to support those who are ready to follow Him.
