Join us to have the opportunity to win this 925 degree sterling silver overlay icon of Panagia Odigitria (44.5x31cm) at the Central Philoptochos High Tea.

History and significance of the icon.

The icon of Panagia Odigitria adorned the right column of the Katholikon of the Monastery of Vatopedi until 1730. when one day, miraculously, it came on its own and was found in the Monastery's Katholikon while the doors were securely locked. The Vatopedi Fathers searched for it and, attributing its relocation to human action, brought it back and secured it in their
Katholikon. However, the miracle of Panagia was repeated, and everyone was assured that it was the will of Panagia to remain in the Holy Monastery of Xenophontos, for the sake of Her children who were practicing asceticism there.

According to the tradition of the Synaxaristés, Saint Luke painted the Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos from life, and she received it with great joy and blessed it saying, "May the grace of Him Who was born of me be with this Icon."
