An old Russian Orthodox tradition says that the icon of the Theotokos the Deliverer from troubles, the text of which describes the miracles that took place through prayer at this holy icon, helps everyone who comes to her to get rid of even the most, it would seem,. It is believed that there are no such diseases, the healing of which would not be subject to prayers before the icon of the Redeemer from troubles of the Most Pure Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and everyone who has lost hope of receiving salvation from earthly doctors reads the akathist. 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, the Redeemer from the troubles of the afflicted, helps in various everyday sorrows

The history of the Mother of God Icon of the Redeemer from Troubles, whose prayer is included in almost any book of akathists, begins in 1841. At that time, the holy image belonged to a former resident of one of the Athos monasteries, monk Martinian. The area in which he lived was suddenly invaded by locusts, and only a prayer before the image of the Redeemer helped get rid of him. 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, the Deliverer from Troubles, says that Martinian, not accustomed to such a huge number of visitors who wanted to pray before the miraculous image, could not stand it and returned to Athos, taking the icon of the Mother of God with him.

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

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

Icon of the Mother of God

Celebration on the Sunday of All Saints

More than two centuries ago, the peasant Fedot Alekseevich Obukhov lived in the village of Bor. He was a pious man who loved to donate money to decorate his native church. Once, on the day of the Epiphany of the Lord, on the way from the city of Bolkhov, he was overtaken by a terrible blizzard with severe frost. Soon the road was completely covered. The horse was exhausted and stopped at an impassable ravine. In the cold, Obukhov is completely chilled. Seeing no means of salvation, he unharnessed his horse, wrapped himself up, lay down in the sleigh and began to fall asleep, not realizing that he was freezing. But even in these terrible moments, he managed to pray to the Mother of God, mentally vowing to paint Her icon “Search for the Lost.” In a neighboring village there lived a peasant, a friend of Obukhov. And in the howls of a blizzard, he suddenly heard someone's voice under the window: "Take it." Leaving the house, he saw his old friend Fedot Obukhov in the sleigh. Upon recovery, Obukhov immediately set about fulfilling his vow, commissioning the painter for the icon of the Mother of God "Searching for the Lost." When the icon was ready, he first brought it to his parental home, and from there he “transferred it on his head to his native temple. The Borsk icon became famous for blessed signs and miracles. After some time, other images of the “Search for the Dead” became known in Russia.

This icon Holy Mother of God located in the Nikolaevsky Arzamas convent.
The icon is self-updating. According to the sisters of the monastery in which she is located: “This miracle “began to be” already in 1997. The sisters remember that it was then that a bright spot appeared on the completely blackened icon, like a ray of sunshine, highlighting a small oval part of the icon measuring 10-15 cm. It was imprinted on the neck of the Mother of God and the hand of the Infant Savior touching her. The sisters remembered that it was in the middle of the summer of 2000 that this "solar glare" began to increase rapidly. And - lo and behold! As if someone is invisible from us in thin layers , as if with scales, took off all this blackness.
Gradually, the face of the Savior, the face of the Mother of God, was cleansed. The royal crown on the head of the Queen of Heaven is already visible, the blessing hand of the Savior, His legs resting on right hand His Mother, the colors of the clothes were determined. Moreover, everything did not manifest itself evenly and smoothly, as a human hand would have done, but precisely so that it was both obvious, and joyful, and comforting.
The name of the icon was illegible. One autumn, a Riga nun arrived and, looking at the icon, said with joy and trepidation that Angels were cleaning it. She was the first to presumably determine the name of the icon - "Deliverance from the troubles of the afflicted." But only in the summer of 2001 we were able to reliably determine the name of the image from its already significantly cleared details.

My activity on the Internet is limited! My links are blocked! My accounts and posts are being deleted! I, the compiler of the texts of akathists to the icons of the Mother of God “Igorevsky”, “The Word was flesh”, Kosma Saratov and many other prayer texts, for my literary activity are humiliated in every possible way, persecuted, threatened, according to the priests, “to imprison under a blue article - here you are martyrdom." I was deprived of all means of subsistence. Follow the links, take a look and draw your own conclusions. A request to all those who are not indifferent: if you liked the publication, please make a link!

My ill-wishers spread slanderous fabrications: allegedly my work is "condemned Orthodox Church". This is a vile lie: type in the search engine the name of the akathists to the icon of the Mother of God of Igor, Kosma of Saratov - they, like many others, are located or were until recently - after these publications - on the official websites of the Russian Orthodox Church - while the author is forced to live in poverty. Moreover, he is attacked for his work. See for yourself:

Apocalypse online deleted Or doomsday live

In 1997, two residents of Arzamas brought an icon, more precisely, a dark board, which one of them found in her barn, to the St. Nicholas Monastery. Then it was difficult to say whether it was an icon at all, since it was not possible to understand what was depicted on it. Obviously, therefore, the sisters of the monastery took it to the storeroom, where icons unsuitable for service are kept. Once the abbess of the monastery, Mother George, sorting out the storeroom, ordered that this icon be placed in a frame, hung in the church and pray to the Most Holy Theotokos in front of it. The inhabitants of the monastery began to turn to the Queen of Heaven in front of this image, asking for help in their various needs. Soon, a bright spot appeared on the completely blackened board, as if with a sunbeam illuminating a small oval part of the icon - the neck of the Mother of God and the arm of the Infant. In the middle of the summer of 2000, the icon began to be intensively updated, as if someone invisible was removing blackness in thin layers: the faces of the Mother of God and the Savior appeared. That's just the name of the icon to make out, it was not possible.

Once a Riga nun came to St. Nicholas Monastery. Seeing the icon, she happily said that Angels were cleaning it, and suggested that this was the face of the Mother of God "Deliverance from the troubles of the afflicted." Then none of the sisters did not betray this value. And only in the summer of 2001 the inscription was cleared.

When the number of pilgrims coming to this icon began to increase, the monastery decided to move it to a more accessible place. The sisters who carried the icon noticed that the paint layer of the icon was practically crumbling - the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary exudes the tree itself.

Every week, except for Great Lent, an akathist is read in front of the icon of the Mother of God "Deliverance from the troubles of the afflicted". Many miracles have been recorded through prayers before the icon of the Mother of God "Deliverance from the troubles of the afflicted." The monastery has a notebook where parishioners write down their stories of miraculous deliverance from illnesses and troubles. In addition, about 3000 letters come to the monastery every year with requests to pray in front of this icon.

About the icon of the Mother of God "Deliverance from the troubles of the afflicted"

(celebration on the Sunday of All Saints)

“Deliver us from troubles, Mother of God pure, eternal

giving birth to deliverance, and peace to every mind"

(from the prayer canon to the Most Holy Theotokos)

This miracle "began to be" since 1997. The sisters remember that it was then that a bright spot appeared on the completely blackened icon, like a ray of sunlight that illuminated a small oval part of the icon measuring 10-15 cm. It was imprinted on the neck of the Mother of God and the hand of the Infant Savior touching her. The sisters remembered that it was in the middle of the summer of 2000 that this "sunlight" began to increase rapidly. And - O miracle! It was as if someone, invisible from us, was filming all this blackness in thin layers, like scales. Gradually, the face of the Savior, the face of the Mother of God, was cleansed. The royal crown on the head of the Queen of Heaven is already visible, the blessing hand of the Savior, His legs, resting on the right hand of His Mother, determined the colors of the clothes. Moreover, everything did not manifest itself evenly and smoothly, as a human hand would have done, but precisely so that it was both obvious, and joyful, and comforting this miracle of God.

The name of the icon was illegible. One autumn, a Riga nun arrived and, looking at the icon, said with joy and trepidation that Angels were cleaning it. She was the first to presumably determine the name of the icon - "Deliverance from the misfortunes of the afflicted." But at that time, none of us remembered him. Only in the summer of 2001, we were able to reliably determine the name of the image from its already significantly cleared details. We found the first information about this icon in the book “Tales of the Earthly Life of the Mother of God” (Published in Russian on Athos by Panteleimonov Mon. M., 1904, p. 275).

"To Thee, O Holy Mother,

I, the poor slave of sins,

With sorrow and tears

I have come under your protection."

(Arch. Nikolai (Guryanov) from Zalit Island)

We've had a difficult time. We came to the monastery from a godless world with destroyed ideals, with an almost killed faith in God. It was not customary in him to honor elders, to obey, he was brought up to think about himself, that you are “something” very significant. Unfortunately, we absorbed all this and with such proud, crippled souls came to work for the Lord. It can be hard for us and sometimes it begins to seem that we are not to blame for everything, but this place itself is somehow not a monastery. Then sometimes you almost reach despair. And then the Mother of God appeared. By her appearance, She calms us, consoles us and reminds us that this place is God-given, under Her Protection and intercession. She, like a mother, comforts us so that we do not despair. Yes, it is difficult to overcome the enemy both from the outside and within oneself - but She is with us, She loves us as we are, because it is precisely such that she gathered us here, to this holy monastery under Her Protection and the prayerful intercession of the servant of God - St. Nicholas . And She will not leave us with Her help, intercession, intercession before Her Son, and - we know - she will help and save us from troubles, suffering and flowing to Her wondrous image.

“We magnify Thee, Blessed Virgin, God-chosen Maiden,

and we honor Your Holy Image, which sharpened healing

to all who flow with faith.”

Our monastery is located near the village of Diveevo. Pilgrims, returning from the Holy Trinity Seraphim-Diveevo Monastery, tired of sleepless nights, the road and prayerful labors, usually stopped by for a short time. They handed notes, kissed the icons in the church and hurried to the bus - rather home to their usual duties. And the pilgrims had nothing more to show in the monastery: there were narrow passages around the Church of the Epiphany, and building materials to the right and left, everywhere traces of construction and our grief - the destroyed walls of St. Nicholas Church, which we cannot yet "lift" with our own forces. But then the Mother of God turned the eyes of the suffering, tired and hurrying people on Herself. Now they are rushing with joy to the lower church, consecrated in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "Joy of All Who Sorrow (with pennies)", where the evening monastic rule takes place daily. Although they are in a hurry, they find time to venerate the wondrous image, they read with joy and sing to Mother God's Akathist. And if at this time the lamp near the icon emits a fragrance, they rejoice like children. Recently, parishioners and pilgrims have not disregarded this wonderful image: they ask for icons and Akathist for private reading.

We are glad that their and our prayers have been heard - with God's help the publication has been successful. We thank, we wish God's help and salvation to all those who participated in the publication of the Akathist.

The image of the Mother of God, called "" became famous far beyond the borders of Arzamas. It all started when, in 1997, two residents of Arzamas brought an icon to the St. Nicholas Convent, or rather, a dark board, which one of them found in her barn. Then it was difficult to say whether it was an icon at all, since it was not possible to understand what was depicted on it. Obviously, therefore, the sisters of the monastery took it to the storeroom, where icons unsuitable for the temple were kept.

Once the abbess of the monastery, Abbess George (Fedotova), sorting out the storeroom, ordered this icon to be placed in a frame, hung in the church and pray to the Most Holy Theotokos before it. And the inhabitants of the monastery began to turn to the Queen of Heaven in front of this image, asking for help in their various needs. Soon a bright spot appeared on the completely blackened board, as if with a sunbeam illuminating a small oval part of the icon - the neck of the Mother of God and the hand of the Divine Infant.

In the middle of the summer of 2000, the icon began to be intensively updated, as if someone invisible was removing blackness in thin layers: the faces of the Virgin and the Savior appeared. That's just the name of the icon to make out, it was not possible.

Once a Riga nun came to the St. Nicholas Monastery. Seeing the icon, she happily said that angels were cleaning it, and suggested that this was the image of the Mother of God, called "". Then none of the sisters betrayed this significance and they remembered these words only in the summer of 2001, when the inscription was cleared.

After the number of pilgrims coming to this icon began to increase, the monastery decided to move it to a more accessible place. The sisters who carried the icon noticed that the paint layer of the icon was practically crumbling - the image of the Most Holy Theotokos exudes from the tree itself.

Every week, except for Great Lent, an akathist is read in the monastery before the icon of the Mother of God, known as “Deliverance from the troubles of the afflicted”. Many miracles have been recorded through prayers before the icon of the Mother of God, called "Deliverance from the troubles of the afflicted." The monastery has a notebook where parishioners write down their stories of miraculous deliverance from illnesses and troubles. In addition, about 3000 letters come to the monastery every year with requests to pray in front of this icon.

The icon of the Mother of God, called "Deliverance from the troubles of the afflicted," is kept in the St. Nicholas Convent in the city of Arzamas.

Stories of pilgrims and nuns of the St. Nicholas Convent

If the nuns of the monastery are asked by pilgrims which icon to pray for in case of family troubles, illness, housing problems, pre-judicial cases, they have one answer - in front of this image of the Mother of God. And no one leaves the icon inconsolable, unhappy, unheard. Only those requests are not fulfilled that harm the salvation of our souls. And the cases of miracles described in the book with the akathist are amazing.

According to the memoirs of nun Nadezhda, who carried obedience to the miraculous icon in the early years, then there was still no notebook with records of miracles. And she remembered an incident that happened to a war veteran who had a bullet inside his lungs. The words of his relatives are quoted that the former front-line soldier “read the akathist every day (not for the sake of healing, but for love for the Mother of God).

Two months later, the bullet came out through the resulting abscess. He took it out with his own hands." It also speaks of the miracle of the resurrection of the dead, who was hopelessly ill with cancer - unbaptized, who died and was resurrected in a Moscow hospital. Being an atheist, he rejected the request of a believing son to accept the Sacrament of Baptism.

He began to read this akathist two or three times a day. The father dies in the hospital (as the doctors testified) and - lo and behold! - comes to life again and asks, upon arrival to his son, to call a priest to perform the Sacraments of Baptism and unction over him. Later, in his revelation, he, pointing to the image of the Mother of God on the cover of the akathist “Deliverance from the troubles of the afflicted,” which the son held in his hands, explained: “In this image, the Mother of God came to me and said:“ Your son weeps tearfully for your soul We bring you back to earth. When the son invites the priest and he performs all the Sacraments, we will pick you up.” It goes on to say: “I didn’t say another word. He lived in the hospital for exactly 12 hours and peacefully passed away into eternity to the Lord.”

Today, the icon "Deliverance from the troubles of the afflicted" is a great shrine, which annually attracts thousands of pilgrims and not only from Russia, there were pilgrims from France, Norway and other countries. People come here from all over the world, specially stop at the Cathedral Square to go in and bow to the icon, anoint themselves with oil from its lamp, put candles and read an akathist to ask the Mother of God for deliverance from troubles and suffering, to pray for the health of their children, for deliverance from various diseases, drunkenness, about the admonition of those who left the Orthodox faith. Here you can hear numerous stories about miraculous healings, about Divine help.

The akathist is very short, it takes about 15 minutes to read, but, for those who have read the akathist at least once, it has great power. After all, how much hope the words of the Theotokos magnification give: “Rejoice, Deliverance from grief, death and misfortunes of those who suffer us!”

The appearance in the city of Arzamas of the icon "Deliverance from the troubles of the afflicted" is like a real holy miracle, which happens less and less these days.
All this is told by me from the words of 2 wonderful women, nuns Nadezhda and Valentina, who have been welcoming pilgrims in their monastery for many years. We have been coming to wonderful Diveevo for many years, we definitely visit this monastery, and with our own eyes we see how this wonderful icon is self-renewing from year to year. We had different groups - from 7 to 40 people, and people were different, both churched, and newcomers, and those who had not yet come to God, and who perceived everything with doubt and sarcasm. But we will definitely sing the Akathist at this icon, it really takes 15 minutes, and at this time Grace comes from the icon SUCH that even the most severe skeptics kneel down.

3 years ago we arrived in a motley group, there were guys and girls from the office, giggling and grinning, there were church pilgrims, there were colleagues showing neutrality or just being interested, there were 2 Protestants and there were, by the will and help of God, 2 church choir directors. We listened to nun Valentina, put candles to the icons, handed in little notes, and then stood up for the Akathist. The nun sang first, then our choir directors joined in, and then the whole group sang.

It's been 3 years, and I can't forget the feelings that gripped me, and, according to my recollections, all those around me. Girls, guys and everyone who was there at that time knelt down and sang the Akathist as if we were rehearsing it every day. We just didn't notice the time. Many had tears in their eyes. Grace hung in the air almost palpably. My heart fluttered and was filled with extraordinary joy.

When then, after 20 minutes, we got on the bus, everyone was silent for another hour and a half. Nobody wanted to talk. It was clear that everyone was sitting and experiencing the sensations that we received from this miraculous image. Several girls and a guy (previously non-believers) said that it seemed to them that the Mother of God was smiling at them from the icon.

But I want to say that in addition to this Miraculous Icon, there are other wonderful shrines in this temple. This is the miraculous icon of the Mother of God with pennies, and the Icon-"martyr" with the image of the Mother of God, chopped by some hater right on the legs of the Christ-child and in the eyes of the Mother of God. A miracle happened, and the eyes of the Mother of God appeared above the chopped wound. All this can be seen there with your own eyes.

And finally, there is an icon heavenly patron this monastery - St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, Saint of Myra. There is a wonderful story associated with this image.

This icon was presented to the monastery as an icon of St. Dmitry St. Rostov, it was so dark, and those who donated it decided by the clothes that it was St. Demetrius. This large icon was hung in the temple.

And after some time, the icon began to cleanse itself, and, in the end, the nuns of the monastery eventually saw who was actually depicted on the icon. The nuns were overjoyed.

As they themselves said, they realized that the priest took them under his guardianship. Well, we, who come to this monastery, come to visit St. Nicholas.
