The Iveron Icon of the Mother Mary is one of the most revered Orthodox icons of the Most Holy Mother of God. Its veneration goes back to ancient times and is associated with miracles that occurred around the icon.
The icon is also known as the “Iversk Icon of the Lord”. According to legend, it was painted by St. Luke the Apostle in Jerusalem. However, the history of the icon became more vivid in the 5th century, when a miracle occurred in Constantinople that saved the city from enemy attack. During the Lebanese barbarian flood, the icon was noticed by St. Acacius, Archbishop of Constantinople, and praying before it, he saw the water recede. Thus, the miracle-working icon became known as the Iverskaya Icon.
The icon depicts the Mother of God holding the Child Jesus in her arms. She radiates tenderness and maternal care. One of the features is that the throne on which the Virgin sits is usually decorated with luxurious designs and precious stones.
The Mother of God of Ivera is considered an intercessor and helper of the faithful in various difficulties and needs. Her icon often attracts pilgrims and worshippers, and many come to her with pleas for health, protection and blessing.
There is a tradition to celebrate the feast of the Iveron icon on December 13. On this day believers gather in temples to pray and express their devotion to the Mother of God through this miraculous icon.
