Troparion to the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God: a short miraculous prayer

The miraculous image of the Mother of God of Kazan, whose troparion calls Her zealous Intercessor and Divine protection to all who come to her for help, appeared in the city of Kazan in the 16th century. At night, in a dream, the Queen of Heaven appeared to a nine-year-old girl named Matrona and pointed to the place where her icon is kept. The child told her parents about this, who attributed everything to her fantasies, but the phenomenon began to repeat itself regularly. Then the father and mother of Matrona followed their daughter, and in the place indicated by her they really found an ancient image of the Mother of God of Kazan, whose troparion today helps believers get rid of sorrows and misfortunes.

It is not in vain that the Mother of God of Kazan is sung in the troparion as the Intercessor and the Intercession - there are several cases when she saved not only individual people, but the entire Russian state from destructive vacillation. In the 17th century, the prayers of Our Lady of Kazan helped Prince Dimitry Pozharsky liberate the Kremlin from the troops of False Dmitry, and then Moscow. In honor of this event, the Kazan Cathedral was built in the capital, in which a prayer and troparion to the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God are read daily.

Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. Apparition of the Icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the City of Kazan

Kazan icon of the Mother of God: history, miracles, prayers

1579, summer. White mercilessly scorching sun, a pillar of dust on the roads of Kazan. Dust and ashes - a terrible fire blazed here a week ago. It began near the Church of St. Nicholas, spread to the Kazan Kremlin. For long hours the glow blazed, women lamented, children cried - well, how will it spread to houses, what will happen ?!

And many chuckled maliciously - where was your God that the church burned down? It can be seen that all your priests are lying - it was blazing like that. And what do you say to that? And it's true, many in those days doubted their faith - perhaps it is not pleasing to God that they turn to Christ from Islam? “The faith of Christ,” says the chronicler, “became a parable and a reproach”…

In that fire, many families were left homeless, but there was nothing to do, no one who had burned down would be returned, and it was necessary to build soon - by winter. The archer Daniil Onuchin was in a hurry with the construction, among other fire victims. Daniel had a daughter, Matrona. Her parental sorrows were less understandable: for children, even a fire is quite funny, so much remains after - where the glass is beautiful, where the pebble is unprecedented. Only in the evening, when you go to bed, do you remember that after the fire everything is different, unusual.

One night, Matryosh woke up from the unseen: the Mother of God Herself, the Most Holy Theotokos, appeared to her in a dream. And not just appeared, but commanded to get Her icon from under the ground. She shone with a bright light - and the girl woke up.

You have dreams and visions, everything seems to you, all your miracles are endless - the skeptic who reads these lines will say. And it will anticipate our story, because that is exactly how the nine-year-old Matryosha was answered by her family.

“Dreams are sometimes from God, but visions are only for saints, so better dreams do not attach any importance, ”said the parents. And they were right. But still, that dream was a vision, because it repeated itself a second time and on the third night. Then the parents decided to check the girl's words.

Cleaned it from dust, earth. But how did she get there? Apparently, a long time ago, secret confessors of Christianity in a non-Christian camp hid the icon of the Queen of Heaven in this way.

The news of the miraculous acquisition of the icon swept faster than the fastest bird, and now the priests of the surrounding churches are rushing to this wondrous place, Archbishop Jeremiah, reverently accepting the icon, solemnly transfers it to the church of St. Nicholas, from where, after a prayer service, they transferred it from procession to the Cathedral of the Annunciation - the first Orthodox church city of Kazan, erected by Ivan the Terrible. It immediately became clear that the icon was miraculous - already during the procession, two Kazan blind men gained sight. We even know their names: Joseph and Nikita.

And those who a few days ago mocked Orthodox faith, embarrassedly hurried to the icon with requests - Queen of Heaven, help, reason, heal!

These miracles are the first in a long list of miracles and healings. The story of finding the icon impressed Tsar Ivan the Terrible so much that he ordered the construction of the Kazan Cathedral and the founding of a convent. There, after some time, Matrona and her mother took monastic vows.

The image of the Kazan Blessed Virgin Mary by type refers to the icons of Hodegetria - the Guide, and indeed, she repeatedly pointed out the right path to many of our compatriots. So, with the Kazan icon, the militia moved to Moscow, freeing the city from the impostors of the Time of Troubles.

In 1611, in winter, the holy miraculous Kazan Icon of the Mother of God returned to Kazan, but on the way there, in Yaroslavl, she was met by a militia from Nizhny Novgorod, gathered by Minin, over whom Prince Pozharsky took command and who, having learned about the miracles performed from the icon in Moscow, took her with him and constantly prayed before her, asking the zealous Heavenly Intercessor of the Christian race to send down help to them.

The Most Holy Theotokos showed Her mercy - she took under Her Protection the faithful sons of the fatherland, and with Her help Russia was saved from her enemies.

The militia that arrived at Moscow with Prince Pozharsky encountered many obstacles that were insurmountable for human forces, namely: it was necessary to take the city, which was well fortified and stubbornly defended by the Poles, to repel the fresh, numerous Polish army that had approached Moscow, to pacify the willfulness and rampage of the Russian detachments, who met the arriving militia almost with hatred and showing them only enmity and treason. In addition, the lack of food in the devastated area and the lack of weapons produced a strong decline in courage in the arriving army.

And many of the faithful sons of the fatherland, losing the last spark of hope, exclaimed in deep sorrow: “Forgive me, freedom of the fatherland! Forgive me, holy Kremlin! We have done everything for your release; but, apparently, it is not pleasing to God to bless our weapons with victory!”

Deciding on the last attempt to liberate the dear fatherland from enemies, but not relying on their own strength, the entire army and people turned to the Lord and His Most Pure Mother with a prayer, establishing for this a special solemn prayer and strictly observing three day post.

God heard the prayer cry of those who care about the fatherland and inviolability Orthodox Church and showed them His mercy. Reverend Sergius appeared in a dream to the ailing Archbishop Arseny of Elasson, who was in heavy captivity by the Poles, in the Moscow Kremlin occupied by them, who came to Russia with the Greek Metropolitan Jeremiah, and announced that, through the prayers of the Mother of God and the great Moscow miracle workers Peter, Alexy, Jonah and Philip, On the very next day, the Lord will overthrow the enemies and return saved Russia to her sons, and to assure the fulfillment of his words, he granted healing to Arseny.

Encouraged by the good news, the Russian soldiers called on the help of the Queen of Heaven and courageously approached Moscow, and - on October 22, 1612, they liberated Kitai-Gorod, and two days later they took the Kremlin itself. The Poles fled.

The next day, Sunday, the Russian army and all the inhabitants of Moscow, in gratitude for deliverance from their enemies, made a solemn procession to the Place of the Skull, carrying the miraculous icon of the Mother of God, sacred banners and other Moscow shrines. This spiritual procession was met from the Kremlin by Archbishop Arseny with a miraculous Vladimir Icon Mother of God, preserved by him in captivity. Seeing this icon, the soldiers and the people knelt down and with tears of joy kissed holy image his intercessor.

First, the procession was made to the Church of the Presentation of the Mother of God on Lubyanka, where the house of Prince Pozharsky was located, and after the construction of a new church, in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, built at the expense of Prince Pozharsky (which is now the Kazan Cathedral, on Resurrection Square), the procession was already takes place in the cathedral. It was also transferred there by Prince Pozharsky himself and miraculous icon who was with him in the ranks of the army.

Many lists from the Kazan icon became famous in their time for miracles: Tobolsk, Kaplunov, Voznesenskaya and others.

Amen.

Tobolsk icon. This miraculous icon is located in Tobolsk in cathedral. She appeared in 1661. That year, on July 8, in Tobolsk, in the Znamensky Monastery, on the day of the celebration of the Kazan icon, at matins, when Hierodeacon Ioanniky was reading the legend about the appearance of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos in Kazan and reached the place where it is said that the Kazan archbishop had not previously believed the appearance of the icon , then in front of all the people he prayed to the Most Pure Lady for the forgiveness of his sin, he suddenly fell unconscious on the floor along with the lectern.

When he came to his senses, he immediately demanded a confessor and revealed to him the following:

“On June 21st, after Matins, I went to my cell and fell asleep. Suddenly I see - a saint comes to me in full vestments, similar to John Chrysostom; I took him for Metropolitan Philip. The saint said to me: “Get up and tell the archimandrite, the governor and all the people that not far from the Three Saints Church in the city they build a church in the name of the Kazan Mother of God, they would build it in three days, and on the fourth they would consecrate and bring into it the image of the Mother of God of Kazan - that the very one that now stands in the porch of this Three Saints Church in a closet, facing the wall. Tell this image to be celebrated in the city. God is angry with you for your sins, you speak foul language and with your foul language, like a stench, fill the air: this is a stench to both God and people; but our Lady with all the saints prayed to her Son Christ our God for your city and for all the people, so that He would turn away His righteous wrath.

But when I got up from sleep, I was amazed, but I didn’t say anything to anyone. A little later, when I was in my cell and began to write irmos: Embellished with divine glory, the same saint suddenly came to me and graciously said to me: “Why didn’t you tell what was said to you from the Most Holy Theotokos through me, Her minister?" - and disappeared. Out of fear, I fell to the ground, glorified God, but I was afraid to speak about the vision, so that confusion would not come out among the people, and out of fear that they would not believe me.

A few days later, during my sleep, the saint again appeared to me and said with anger: “Why didn’t you say what was commanded to you? Because of your neglect, the wrath of God is coming on your city for your sins. Your bread is rotting, and the water is drowning - get up soon and tell the archimandrite, the governor and all the people; If you don't, you will soon lose your life. If the townspeople obey, then the mercy of God will be on your city and its environs; if they do not listen, then it will be hard for your city: your cattle will die, the water will scatter your houses from the rains, and you will all disappear like worms, and the image of the Mother of God will be glorified in another place.

But I didn’t tell anyone about this third phenomenon either, and on July 6, when, after evening singing, I came to my cell and went to bed, I fell into a light sleep and heard - in the monastery a wonderful ringing of two bells and the singing of extraordinary voices: let us exalt Ty, Immaculate Mother of our God.

One of the singers said to me: "Because you did not say what you were commanded, tomorrow you will be punished before all the people." And when in the morning I began to read about the appearance of the miraculous image of the Mother of God in Kazan, I saw that the saint who had appeared to me before came from the porch and blesses the people on both sides; having come to the meal, also blessing the people, he came up to me and said: “You are reading this and why don’t you believe it yourself? That image was in the ground, and this one stands in the porch facing the wall; why didn't you tell about it?" And he, shaking his hand at me, said: "From now on, be decrepit until the divine work is done." Having said this, he became invisible, and I fell to the ground from fear, and now I am telling you.”

The people, having learned about the miraculous phenomena, with tears glorified the mercy of the Most Holy Theotokos, and all with zeal with a procession of the cross took the icon to the place where it was ordered to build a church, and the church was built in three days and consecrated on the fourth. Before the construction of the church, the narrator notes, there were torrential rains and water came in the rivers, as in springtime, and when they began to build the church, there was a bucket; breads and vegetables have recovered since then.

Kaplunovskaya-Kazan icon. This icon is located in the village of Kaplunovka, Kharkov diocese. Appeared in 1689 as follows.

The priest of this village, distinguished by a particularly pious life, Ioann Umanov, had a dream of an old man adorned with gray hair, and told him that icon painters with icons would soon come to him from Moscow, and that he would acquire from the oldest of them in years from a bunch of icons for himself the eighth in a row, the Kazan Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. “From her you will receive grace and mercy,” added the elder.

The priest did so, but before that he strictly fasted. Soon a new vision followed in a dream to the priest Umanov: the Most Holy Theotokos Herself appeared and ordered the icon to be placed in the church. The priest announced his vision to the people and triumphantly transferred the icon to the church, and from that time miracles began to happen from the icon. The icon was called Kaplunovskaya.

In 1709, when Emperor Peter the Great was at war with the Swedish king Charles XII, he summoned a priest with the Kaplunov icon to his army in Kharkov and ordered him to carry it in front of the regiments, and he himself prayed with tears to the Queen of Heaven for help.

Meanwhile, King Charles, having stopped with his army near Kaplunovka, placed himself with the traitor Hetman Mazepa in the house of the priest John. Then some of his violent warriors wanted to burn the church. They surrounded it with straw and firewood, but no matter how hard they tried to set it on fire, neither firewood nor straw caught fire.

Having learned about such a miracle and also that the holy icon was in the Russian camp, Karl told Mazepa: “If we could not set fire to the church even without the icon, then where it is, it will be unreliable for us.” So indeed it happened. The Battle of Poltava gave Great Peter the victory over Charles.

There is a miraculous Kaplunovskaya icon in the Kozeevka settlement, 80 miles from Kharkov.

Nizhnelomovskaya-Kazan icon. This icon appeared in 1643 at a spring two versts from the city of Nizhny Lomov, Penza province. At the site of her appearance, a chapel was first erected, and then a church and a monastery.

Karpovskaya-Kazan icon. This icon is located in the Kursk Zibichensky Monastery. It was brought here in 1725 from the Karpov desert.

Katashinsky-Kazan icon. This icon appeared in 1622 in a grove near the village of Bely Kolodez, Chernihiv province, to the local priest and placed by him in the village church. In 1692, a monastery named Katashinsky.

Ascension-Kazan icon. She is in Voznesensky convent in Moscow, in the Kremlin. For the first time she became famous in 1689. Twice it was in danger of burning, but miraculously it was preserved.

After the prayer before this icon, they forgot to extinguish the candle, the candle fell, and from it the lectern on which the icon lay was burned, and the icon itself, despite the fact that it was written on the canvas, remained completely unharmed.

Another time, when in 1701, on June 19, there was a fire in the Moscow Kremlin and the royal palace and the Ascension Monastery burned down, the icon miraculously survived. When they took out the utensils and icons from the cathedral monastery church, they did not take it out, but meanwhile it turned out to be together with other icons taken out; when, after the end of the fire, they began to bring things into the cathedral, they saw that the icon was already in its place, although no one had brought it. And more miraculous healings was from this icon.

The first miracle from the icon was the following. One of the peasants of the village of Pavlovsky fell into a cruel illness from an intemperate life. At this time, the Most Holy Theotokos appeared in a dream to another pious peasant and ordered him to tell the sick man to pray to Her for healing and go to wash in the holy well. Then he would have abandoned his intemperate life, otherwise he might perish. The sick man with great effort went to the well, washed himself, and completely recovered.

Irkutsk-Kazan icon. She is located in Irkutsk in Epiphany Cathedral and was famous for many miracles. Every year in April or May, after the sowing of spring grain, it is carried with a procession through the neighboring rural peasant fields to consecrate the crops. This religious procession has long been established on the occasion of frequent crop failures in the surrounding villages of the city of Irkutsk.

Kargopol-Kazan icon. This miraculous icon is located in the city of Kargopol of the Olonets diocese, in the Church of the Ascension.

She became famous in 1714. The icon was in the house of the pious widow Martha Ponomareva, who once, while praying before the icon, saw that a tear was flowing from the right eye of the Most Holy Theotokos, and in fear informed the priest about it. The icon was transferred to the church, and here twice in a short time, in the sight of everyone, streams of tears appeared from the eyes of the Mother of God, which was reported to the then Metropolitan of Novgorod Job.

Yaroslavl-Kazan icon. This icon is located in Yaroslavl in the convent of Kazan. The story of her glorification is as follows.

In 1588, on July 2, a certain pious man named Gerasim, while he was in Kazan, had a wonderful vision of the Mother of God Herself, and after he wished to acquire Her icon for himself, he heard a voice in a dream indicating where and which icon to acquire , and then go to the city of Romanov and tell the inhabitants there to build a temple in the name of the icon. Gerasim found the icon, and only took it in his hands, as right hand him, who had been sick for a long time, was healed.

A temple was built in Romanov, and the icon stood there until 1604, when Romanov was taken by the Lithuanians. At this time, one of them took a miraculous icon from the church and took it with him to Yaroslavl. Here the Theotokos Herself appeared to a certain deacon Eleazar and commanded that a temple be erected in her honor. The temple was erected, and then a monastery with it.

The inhabitants of Romanov wanted to return the miraculous icon to themselves, but the citizens of Yaroslavl asked Tsar Vasily Ioannovich to leave it in their city, and the tsar, after consulting with Patriarch Hermogenes, approved the desire of the latter by a letter on his behalf, but so that they would make an exact list from the miraculous icon for Romanov. And the miraculous icon itself is carried annually from Yaroslavl to Romanov.

Kazanskaya, located in the Moscow Simonov Monastery. This icon was donated to the monastery by those who received it for a blessing from Bishop Tikhon of Voronezh. On its sides are depicted St. Tikhon, the angel of the prelate, the sister of the prelate Martha and her angel.

For the first time she became famous for the healing of the wanderer girl Natalya, who had an icon three times in a dream, but she did not know where to find it. Finally, Hieroschemamonk Alexy of the Simonov Monastery appeared to her in a dream with the image itself and said that the icon was in the monastery in the cathedral church on right side. The icon was found, and the patient, after praying before it, received healing.

Subsequently, in honor of her and for her, a special chapel was arranged at the cathedral monastery church. There were many miracles from the icon.

Kazanskaya, located in the Vyshenskaya desert. This icon in 1812 was brought from Moscow to the Tambov Ascension Convent by the nun Miropia, who, on the occasion of the ruin of the capital, moved there. The pious old woman three times in reality heard a voice from the icon commanding her to be transferred to the Vyshenskaya hermitage, and after her death, according to her will, the icon was transferred. In addition to many healings from the icon, the Vyshensky monks sometimes saw a bright light pouring from it throughout the church at night.

Kazanskaya, located in the Vysochinskiy Kazan Monastery. So the monastery is named after the icon, and the icon is named after the village of Vysochino, where it became famous for miracles. The icon appeared at the beginning of the 18th century, during the reign of Emperor Peter I.

The village of Vysochino did not yet exist, but there was a state-owned pine forest here. On the bank of the swampy river Mzha, which flowed among the forest and was surrounded by swamps, a watchman and his family lived in a hut. It was to this watchman that the icon appeared, standing on a swampy hummock. Light rays emanated from the icon. The watchman took it with reverence and prayer and placed it in his hut with icons on the shelf. Here the icon soon marked itself with a sun-like radiance emanating from it and at the same time healing the blind and lame old man, the watchman's father.

Then they took the icon to the nearest church in the village of Artyukhovka, but the icon returned three times back to the watchman's hut. The people, having learned about the revealed icon, began to come in large numbers to worship her, and many received healing and consolation.

Then the centurion Vysochin, to whom the emperor, for merit during the Battle of Poltava, presented land with a forest, where a miraculous icon stood in the watchman's hut, built a village here, which was named after his last name, Vysochino, and from the village of Artyukhovka moved the church here, where it was miraculous icon delivered.

Subsequently, a monastery was built here. And in the monastery there were many miracles from the icon.

Kazanskaya, located in the Tambov Cathedral. This icon is richly decorated. Her first miracle was in 1695 on December 6 during all-night vigil tears that wet the veil and lectern.

Kazanskaya, located in the Temnikovsky Transfiguration Cathedral. She was in the pantry among the unusable utensils. The icon appeared three times to a lady who suffered from pain in her legs and promised healing if she found it. The patient demanded to be taken to the Temnikovsky Cathedral. As soon as she saw the icon in the pantry, she immediately felt relieved and, after prayer, was completely healed.

Kazan, located in the city of Vyazniki. It stands in the cathedral church. This icon marked itself with miracles at the beginning of the 17th century.

Kazan, located in Suzdal. It stands in the parish Church of the Resurrection. This icon, as a result of the appearance of the Mother of God Herself, was painted by one pious monk of the Shartom Nikolaev Monastery, Joachim, who lived in the 17th century. The monk lived near the Kazan Church in a hut, where he was buried.

The Kazan Icon of the Mother of God is a miraculous icon of the Mother of God revered by Orthodox Christians. Read about all the details of its appearance in the article.

Kazan Icon of the Mother of God: history

1579. White mercilessly scorching sun, a pillar of dust on the roads of Kazan. Dust and ashes from a recent fire - a terrible fire blazed here a week ago. It began near the Church of St. Nicholas, spread to the Kazan Kremlin. For long hours the glow blazed, women lamented, children cried - well, how will it spread to houses, what will happen ?! And many chuckled maliciously - where was your God that the church burned down? It can be seen that all your priests are lying - it was blazing like that. And what do you say to that? And it's true, many in those days doubted their faith - perhaps it is not pleasing to God that they turn to Christ from Islam? “The faith of Christ,” says the chronicler, “became a parable and a reproach”…

In that fire, many families were left homeless, but there was nothing to do, no one who had burned down would be returned, and it was necessary to build soon - by winter. The archer Daniil Onuchin was in a hurry with the construction, among other fire victims. Daniel had a daughter, Matrona. Her parental sorrows were less understandable - for children and a fire - quite funny - so much remains after - where the glass is beautiful, where the pebble is unprecedented. Only in the evening, when you go to bed, do you remember that after the fire everything is different, unusual.

One night, Matryosh woke up from the unseen - the Mother of God Herself, the Most Holy Theotokos, appeared to her in a dream. And not just appeared, but commanded to get Her icon from under the ground. She shone with a bright light - and the girl woke up. You have dreams and visions, everything seems to you, all your miracles are endless - the skeptic who reads these lines will say. And it will anticipate our story, because that is exactly how the nine-year-old Matryosha was answered by her family. “Dreams are sometimes from God, but visions only happen to saints, so it’s better not to attach importance to dreams,” said the parents. And they were right. However, that dream was a vision, because it repeated itself a second time and on the third night. Then the parents decided to check the girl's words.

Matrona and her mother went to the place where, as the girl remembered from the dream, the icon was supposed to be. We started digging. Even deeper, still - is it really it! And for sure - the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. They cleared it of dust, earth .. But how did it get there? Apparently, a long time ago, secret confessors of Christianity in a non-Christian camp hid the icon of the Queen of Heaven in this way. The news of the miraculous finding of the icon swept faster than the fastest bird, and now the priests of the surrounding churches rush to this wondrous place, Archbishop Jeremiah, reverently accepting the icon, solemnly transfers it to the church of St. Nicholas, from where, after a prayer service, they transferred it with a procession to the Annunciation Cathedral - the first Orthodox church in the city of Kazan, erected by Ivan the Terrible. It immediately became clear that the icon was miraculous - already during the procession, two Kazan blind men gained sight. We even know their names: Joseph and Nikita.

And those who a few days ago mocked the Orthodox faith, shyly hurried to the icon - with requests - Queen of Heaven, help, enlighten, heal!

The image of the Kazan Blessed Virgin Mary by type refers to the icons of Hodegetria - the Guidebook, and indeed, she repeatedly pointed out the right path to many of our compatriots. So, with the Kazan icon, the militia moved to Moscow, freeing the city from the impostors of the Time of Troubles. At that time, in the besieged Kremlin, Archbishop Arseny of Elasson (later Archbishop of Suzdal; † 1626; April 13), who had arrived from Greece, was seriously ill from shocks and experiences, was in captivity. At night, the cell of St. Arseny suddenly lit up with Divine light, he saw the Monk Sergius of Radonezh (Comm. 5 July and 25 September), who said: “Arseny, our prayers have been heard; through the intercession of the Mother of God, the judgment of God on the Fatherland is turned over to mercy; tomorrow Moscow will be in the hands of the besiegers and Russia will be saved.” The next day, Kitay-Gorod was liberated, and the Kremlin was liberated 2 days later.

Kazan Cathedral on Red Square in Moscow

Kazan Cathedral on Red Square in Moscow - one of the most famous Moscow churches was erected in 1636. The icon-liberator was transferred there, and now the image is kept in the Cathedral of the Epiphany.

Before the Battle of Poltava, Peter the Great with his army prayed before the icon of the Kazan Mother of God (from the village of Kaplunovka). In 1812, the Kazan icon of the Mother of God overshadowed the Russian soldiers who repelled the French invasion. On the feast of the Kazan Icon on October 22, 1812, Russian detachments led by Miloradovich and Platov defeated Davout's rearguard. This was the first major defeat of the French after leaving Moscow, the enemy lost 7 thousand people. On that day, snow fell, severe frosts began, and the army of the conqueror of Europe began to melt.

The icon showed the way not only to statesmen and squads - according to a good tradition, it is with this icon that young parents bless young parents for marriage, this image of the Mother of God, one of the most beloved in Rus', is accompanied by a long list of miracles.

Prayer before the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos! With fear, faith and love, falling down before Your honest icon, we pray to You: do not turn Your face away from those who resort to You, implore, Merciful Mother, Your Son and our God, the Lord Jesus Christ, may our country be peaceful, may the Church be established His holy Yes, he will keep it unshakable from unbelief, heresies and schism. Not imams of other help, not imams of other hope, unless you, Most Pure Virgin: You are the All-Powerful Helper and Intercessor of Christians. Deliver all those who pray to You with faith from the falls of sin, from the slander of evil people, from all temptations, sorrows, troubles and from vain death; grant us the spirit of contrition, humility of heart, purity of thought, the correction of sinful lives and the remission of sins, so that we all thankfully sing of Your greatness, we will be made worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven and there with all the saints we will glorify the Most Honorable and Magnificent Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

21 July. Kazan Icon of the Mother of God

This icon appeared in 1579 shortly after the capture of the Kazan kingdom from the Tatars by Ivan the Terrible. The Most Holy Theotokos revealed here her miraculous icon in order to more firmly establish in it the newly converted from the inhabitants there; but those who did not believe should no longer be disposed to Christian faith. She herself appeared in a dream to a pious girl named Matrona, the daughter of an archer who had been burned during a terrible fire in Kazan, ordered her to announce to the archbishop and the mayor that they take Her icon from the ground, and at the same time indicated the very place. The girl told her mother about her dream, but she explained it as an ordinary childhood dream. The dream repeated itself twice more.

For the third time, by miraculous power, Matrona was thrown out of the window into the courtyard, where she also saw an icon on which such formidable rays emanated from the face of the Mother of God that she was afraid of being burned by them, and a voice came from the icon: “If you do not fulfill my command, I will appear in another place, and you will perish.” After this, the mother and daughter went to Archbishop Jeremiah and the mayor, but they did not believe them. Then on July 8, in deep distress, both of them, in the presence of the people, went to the indicated place. Mother and the people began to dig the earth, the icons were not found.

But as soon as Matrona herself began to dig, the icon was found. It was wrapped in a piece of cloth and shone with a wonderful light, as if it were brand new, just painted. It is believed that the icon was buried even before the conquest of Kazan, by one of the Christians who hid their faith from the haters of the faith, the Mohammedans. The rumor about the appearance of the icon spread throughout the city, many people flocked, and the archbishop, in the presence of the mayors, with a procession of the cross transferred the icon to the nearest church of St. Nicholas, and from there to the Cathedral of the Annunciation. When the icon was taken to the temple, many sick people, especially the blind, were healed.

It can be thought that this predominant purpose of blindness served as a sign that the holy icon appeared to enlighten with spiritual light those darkened by the blindness of the Mohammedan false teaching. The list from the icon was sent to Moscow, and Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich ordered the construction of a church and a convent on the site of the appearance of the icon. The first nun and then the abbess in the monastery was the maiden Matrona. In 1768, Empress Catherine II, listening to the liturgy in the monastery, adorned the crown of the miraculous icon of the Mother of God with a diamond crown.

November 4th. Kazan Icon of the Mother of God

In 1611, in the winter, St. the miraculous Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was sent back to Kazan, but on the way there, in Yaroslavl, she was met by a militia from Nizhny Novgorod, gathered by Minin, over whom Prince Pozharsky took command and who, having learned about the miracles performed from the icon in Moscow, took her with him and constantly prayed before her, asking the zealous Heavenly Intercessor of the Christian race to send down help to them. The Most Holy Theotokos showed Her mercy, took under Her Protection the faithful sons of the fatherland, and with Her help Russia was saved from her enemies. The militia that arrived at Moscow with Prince Pozharsky encountered many obstacles that were insurmountable for human forces, namely: it was necessary to take the city, which was well fortified and stubbornly defended by the Poles, to repel the fresh, numerous Polish army that had approached Moscow, to pacify the willfulness and rampage of the Russian detachments, who met the arriving militia almost with hatred and showing them only enmity and treason. In addition, the lack of food in the devastated area and the lack of weapons produced a strong decline in courage in the arriving army. And many of the faithful sons of the fatherland, losing the last spark of hope, exclaimed in deep sorrow: “Forgive me, freedom of the fatherland! Forgive me, holy Kremlin! We have done everything for your release; but it is clear that it is not pleasing to God to bless our weapons with victory!”

Deciding on the last attempt to liberate the dear fatherland from enemies, but not relying on their own strength, all the army and people turned to the Lord and His Most Pure Mother with a prayer, establishing a special solemn prayer for this and strictly observing a three-day fast. God heard the prayerful cry of those who care about the fatherland and the inviolability of the Orthodox Church and showed them His mercy. Reverend Sergius appeared in a dream to the ailing Archbishop Arseny of Elasson, who was in heavy captivity by the Poles, in the Moscow Kremlin occupied by them, who came to Russia with the Greek Metropolitan Jeremiah, and announced that, through the prayers of the Mother of God and the great Moscow miracle workers Peter, Alexy, Jonah and Philip, On the very next day, the Lord will overthrow the enemies and return saved Russia to her sons, and to assure the fulfillment of his words, he granted healing to Arseny. Encouraged by the good news, the Russian soldiers called on the help of the Queen of Heaven and courageously approached Moscow, and on October 22, 1612, they liberated Kitai-Gorod, and two days later they took the Kremlin itself. The Poles fled. The next day, on Sunday, the Russian army and all the inhabitants of Moscow, in gratitude for their deliverance from enemies, made a solemn procession to the Place of the Skull, carrying the miraculous icon of the Mother of God, sacred banners and other Moscow shrines. This spiritual procession was met from the Kremlin by Archbishop Arseny with the miraculous Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, which he had kept in captivity. Seeing this icon, the soldiers and the people knelt down and, with tears of joy, kissed the holy image of their Intercessor.

In memory of such a miraculous deliverance of Moscow from the Poles, by the permission of Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich and the blessing of his father, the Metropolitan, later Patriarch Filaret, the Church was established annually on October 22 to celebrate the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in Moscow with a procession. First, the procession was made to the Church of the Presentation of the Mother of God, on Lubyanka, where the house of Prince Pozharsky was located, and after the construction of a new church, in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, built at the expense of Prince Pozharsky (which is now the Kazan Cathedral, on Resurrection Square), the procession is already taking place in the cathedral. The miraculous icon, which was with him in the ranks of the army, was also transferred there by Prince Pozharsky himself.

Tobolsk Icon of the Mother of God

This miraculous icon is located in Tobolsk in the cathedral. She appeared in 1661. This year, on July 8, in Tobolsk, in the Znamensky Monastery, on the day of the celebration of the Kazan icon, at matins, when Hierodeacon Ioanniky read the legend about the appearance of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos in Kazan and reached the place where it is said that the Kazan archbishop had not previously believed the appearance of the icon , then in front of all the people he prayed to the Most Pure Lady for the forgiveness of his sin, he suddenly fell unconscious on the floor along with the lectern.

When he came to his senses, he immediately demanded a confessor and revealed to him the following:

“On June 21st, after Matins, I went to my cell and fell asleep. Suddenly I see - a saint comes to me in full vestments, similar to John Chrysostom; I took him for Metropolitan Philip. The saint said to me: “Get up and tell the archimandrite, the governor and all the people that not far from the Three Saints Church in the city they build a church in the name of the Kazan Mother of God, they would build it in three days, and on the fourth they would consecrate and bring into it the image of the Mother of God of Kazan - that the very one that now stands in the porch of this Three Saints Church in a closet, facing the wall. Tell this image to be celebrated in the city. For your sins, I was angry with you, you speak foul language and fill the air with your foul language like a stench: this is a stench to both God and people; but our Lady, with all the saints, prayed to her Son Christ our God for your city and for all the people, so that He would turn away His righteous wrath. But when I got up from sleep, I was amazed, but I didn’t say anything to anyone. A little later, when I was in my cell and began to write irmos: Embellished with divine glory, the same saint suddenly came to me and graciously said to me: “Why didn’t you tell what was said to you from the Most Holy Theotokos through me, Her minister?" - and disappeared. Out of fear, I fell to the ground, glorified God, but I was afraid to speak about the vision, so that confusion would not come out among the people, and out of fear that they would not believe me. A few days later, during my sleep, the saint again appeared to me and said with anger: “Why didn’t you say what was commanded to you? Because of your neglect, the wrath of God is coming on your city for your sins. Your bread is rotting, and the water is drowning - get up soon and tell the archimandrite, the governor and all the people; If you don't, you will soon lose your life. If the townspeople obey, then the mercy of God will be on your city and its environs; if they do not listen, then it will be hard for your city: your cattle will die, the water will scatter your houses from the rains, and you will all disappear like worms, and the image of the Mother of God will be glorified in another place.

But I didn’t tell anyone about this third phenomenon either, and on July 6, when, after evening singing, I came to my cell, went to bed, I fell into a light sleep and heard - in the monastery a wonderful ringing of two bells and the singing of extraordinary voices: Let us exalt Ty, Immaculate Mother of our God. One of the singers said to me: "Because you did not say what you were commanded, tomorrow you will be punished before all the people." And when in the morning I began to read about the appearance of the miraculous image of the Mother of God in Kazan, I saw that the saint who had appeared to me before came from the porch and blesses the people on both sides; having come to the meal, also blessing the people, he came up to me and said: “You are reading this and why don’t you believe it yourself? That image was in the ground, and this one stands in the porch facing the wall; why didn't you tell about it?" And he, shaking his hand at me, said: "From now on, be decrepit until the divine work is done." Having said this, he became invisible, and I fell to the ground from fear, and now I am telling you.”

The people, having learned about the miraculous phenomena, with tears glorified the mercy of the Most Holy Theotokos, and all with zeal with a procession of the cross took the icon to the place where it was ordered to build the Church, and the church was built in three days and consecrated on the fourth. Before the construction of the church, the narrator notes, there were torrential rains and water came in the rivers, as if in springtime, and when they began to build the church, there was a bucket; breads and vegetables have recovered since then.

Kaplunovskaya-Kazan Icon. This icon is located in the village of Kaplunovka, Kharkov diocese. Appeared in 1689 as follows. The priest of this village, distinguished by a particularly pious life, Ioann Umanov, had a dream of an old man adorned with gray hair, and told him that icon painters with icons would soon come to him from Moscow and that he would acquire from the oldest of them in years from a bunch of icons for himself the eighth account, the Kazan Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. “From her you will receive grace and mercy,” added the elder. The priest did so, but before that he strictly fasted. Soon a new vision followed in a dream to the priest Umanov: the Most Holy Theotokos Herself appeared and ordered the icon to be placed in the church. The priest announced his vision to the people and triumphantly transferred the icon to the church, and from that time miracles began to happen from the icon. The icon was called Kaplunovskaya. In 1709, when Emperor Peter the Great was at war with the Swedish king Charles XII, he summoned a priest with the Kaplunov icon to his army in Kharkov and ordered him to carry it in front of the regiments, and he himself prayed with tears to the Queen of Heaven for help. Meanwhile, King Charles, having stopped with his army near Kaplunovka, placed himself with the traitor Hetman Mazepa in the house of the priest John. Then some of his violent warriors wanted to burn the church. They surrounded it with straw and firewood, but no matter how hard they tried to set it on fire, neither firewood nor straw caught fire. Having learned about such a miracle and also about the fact that St. the icon is in the Russian camp, Karl said to Mazepa: "If they could not light the church even without the icon, then where it is, it will not be reliable for us." So indeed it happened. The Battle of Poltava gave Great Peter the victory over Charles. There is a miraculous Kaplunovskaya icon in the Kozeevka settlement, 80 versts from Kharkov.

Nizhnelomovskaya-Kazan Icon. This icon appeared in 1643 at a spring two versts from the city of Nizhniy Loma in the Penza province. At the site of her appearance, a chapel was first erected, and then a church and a monastery.

Karpovskaya-Kazan Icon. This icon is in the Kursk Znamensky Monastery. It was brought here in 1725 from the Karpov desert.

Ascension-Kazan icon. She is in the Ascension Convent in Moscow, in the Kremlin. For the first time she became famous in 1689. Twice it was in danger of burning, but miraculously it was preserved. This year, after a prayer service before this icon, they forgot to extinguish the candle, the candle fell, and the lectern on which the icon lay was burnt from it, and the icon itself, despite the fact that it was written on the canvas, remained completely unharmed. Another time, when in 1701, on June 19, there was a fire in the Moscow Kremlin and the royal palace and the Ascension Monastery burned down, the icon miraculously survived. When they took out the utensils and icons from the cathedral monastery church, they did not take it out, but meanwhile it turned out to be together with other icons taken out; when, after the end of the fire, they began to bring things into the cathedral, they saw that the icon was already in its place, although no one had brought it. And there were many miraculous healings from this icon.

Pavlovsk-Kazan icon. This icon is located in the village of Pavlovsky, Moscow province, Zvenigorod district. She appeared on a tree, near the village, where a chapel was built in memory of the apparition; inside the chapel is a well, popularly called holy. The first miracle from the icon was the following. One of the peasants of the village of Pavlovsky fell into a cruel illness from an intemperate life. At this time, the Most Holy Theotokos appeared in a dream to another pious peasant and ordered him to tell the sick man to pray to Her for healing and go to wash in the holy well. Then he would have abandoned his intemperate life, otherwise he might perish. The patient with great effort went to the well, washed himself and - completely recovered.

Irkutsk-Kazan icon. It is located in Irkutsk in the Epiphany Cathedral and became famous for many miracles. Every year in April or May, after the sowing of spring grain, they carry it with a procession through the neighboring rural peasant fields to consecrate the crops. This religious procession has long been established on the occasion of frequent crop failures in the surrounding villages of the city of Irkutsk.

Kargopol-Kazan icon. This miraculous icon is located in Kargopol, Olonets diocese, in the Church of the Ascension. She became famous in 1714. The icon was in the house of the pious widow Martha Ponomareva, who once, while praying before the icon, saw that a tear was flowing from the right eye of the Most Holy Theotokos, and in fear informed the priest about it. The icon was transferred to the church, and here twice in a short time, in the sight of everyone, streams of tears appeared from the eyes of the Mother of God, which was reported to the then Metropolitan of Novgorod Job.

Yaroslavl-Kazan icon. This icon is located in Yaroslavl in the convent of Kazan. The story of her glorification is as follows. In 1588, on July 2, a certain pious man named Gerasim, when he was in Kazan, had a wonderful vision of the Mother of God Herself, and after he wished to acquire Her icon for himself, he heard a voice in a dream indicating where and which icon purchase, and then go to the city of Romanov and tell the inhabitants there to build a temple in the name of the icon. Gerasim found the icon and only took it in his hands, as his right hand, which had been sick for a long time, was healed. A temple was built in Romanov, and the icon stood there until 1604, when Romanov was taken by the Lithuanians. At this time, one of them took a miraculous icon from the church and took it with him to Yaroslavl.

The inhabitants of Romanov wanted to return the miraculous icon to themselves, but the citizens of Yaroslavl asked Tsar Vasily Ioannovich to leave it in their city, and the tsar, on the advice of Patriarch Hermogenes, approved the desire of the latter by a letter on his behalf, but with the fact that they made an exact list with the miraculous icons for Romanov.

On the bank of the swampy river Mzha, which flowed among the forest and was surrounded by swamps, a watchman and his family lived in a hut. It was to this watchman that the icon appeared, standing on a swampy hummock. Light rays emanated from the icon. The watchman took it with reverence and prayer and placed it in his hut with icons on the shelf. Here the icon soon marked itself with a sun-like radiance emanating from it and at the same time healing the blind and lame old man, the watchman's father. Then they took the icon to the nearest church in the village of Artyukhovka, but the icon returned three times back to the watchman's hut. The people, having learned about the revealed icon, began to come in large numbers to worship her, and many received healing and consolation. Then the centurion Vysochin, to whom the emperor, for merit during the Battle of Poltava, presented land with a forest - a forest, where a miraculous icon stood in the watchman's hut, built a village here, which was named after his last name, Vysochino, and from the village of Artyukhovka moved a church here, where and a miraculous icon was delivered.

IN church calendar a lot of holidays in honor of the Mother of God icons: Kazan, Vladimir, Tikhvin and others. In honor of Icons of the Kazan Mother of God There are two holidays: 21 July(July 8, old style) - in honor of the acquisition, And November 4(October 22 old style) - in honor of the deliverance of Moscow from the Poles.

Several times it seemed that the image was about to be discovered. There were witnesses who allegedly saw the icon in a secret underground prayer room and even participated in its movement. So, a certain prisoner Torshilov told the investigators: "... the icon of the Kazan Mother of God is intact and is kept by the Old Believers in the prayer room, but it is very, very strictly guarded, so it is very difficult to take the icon from the prayer room." But a careful check of such testimony pointed to the inconsistency of the information.

These rumors, however, have survived to this day. Relatively recently, journalists asked Metropolitans of the Russian Orthodox Church (Gusev) and (Chetvergov) questions about the fate of the Kazan Icon. Perhaps this is just a legend, but the Old Believers really revered and revere Kazanskaya. Almost every home has this image.
