This is exactly how the Tashli face of the Mother of God, the Deliverer from troubles, was revealed. When the Holy Image was transferred from the place of its acquisition to the cathedral, the first deliverance took place.

On the way to the suffering man, the Reverend Father met the Martian and asked him to go with him. The Martian had with him the face of the Mother of God, the Redeemer from troubles. The reverend father could not forgive himself for not having time to come to the boy and began, together with the elder, to read the prayer of the Blessed Virgin Mary and pray for the resurrection of the baby.

So, in the prayer canon to the Most Holy Theotokos there are the words: “Our Lady of the Mother of God, make haste and deliver us from troubles” (Song 3). Sometimes the image is called "From the troubles of the afflicted."
Among the God-marked places of our land, one of the most famous is the small village of Tashla, in the Stavropol region. Samara region. Here in October 1917, before terrible trials, Holy Mother of God revealed Her icon "The Redeemer from Troubles", reminded of Herself, of Her mercy to the Russian land. In addition, she left us forever a miraculous source, on which the account of amazing healings has long been lost.
On October 8, 1917, the Queen of Heaven appeared in a dream to a native of the village of Tashla, temporarily residing in neighboring Musorki, cell attendant Katya on October 8, 1917 and indicated the place where you need to go and dig out Her miraculous image from the ground. The girl told about the vision to her friends Fenya Atyasheva and Pasha Gavrilenkova, who at that time was already a widow. The three of them went to the Tashli ravines. On the way, Katya again had a vision: in front of them, Angels in white robes carried the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. Soon Katya showed her friends the place that Preblagaya Herself pointed out to her in a dream. When they began to dig the earth, the people gathered. Many looked incredulously at their "venture", even laughed. And what happened next, it is better to say in the words of the nameless author, who compiled the "Poetic story about the miraculous appearance of the icon of the Mother of God" Deliverer from troubles "on October 8-21, 1917":
"And then they stopped digging,
The crowd watched Pasha:
That land began to rake with his hand,
When I was baptized, I took out the icon.

The crowd buzzed when they saw the Face
Icons - Queens of Heaven
And then a spring broke out of the pit
Healing moisture miraculous."
The priest of the church in the village of Musorki, Father Vasily Krylov, took the icon to the Trinity Church in Tashlin. And on the way, the first healing happened: Anna Torlova, who had been ill for thirty-two years, kissed the icon and suddenly felt a surge of strength ... Great joy seized the people! The icon was placed on a lectern in the middle of the temple for worship.
Soon the Tashli priest Fr. Dimitri Mitekin. But the icon miraculously left the temple. At night, the church watchman of the Trinity Church, Efim Kulikov, saw, as it were, a flash of lightning flashing from the temple towards the Tashli ravine, where the icon was revealed. In the morning the icons were no longer found in the church.
The second appearance of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos "The Redeemer from Troubles" was in December 1917. The face of the Virgin and this time appeared in the spring that made its way at the site of the first miraculous appearance of the icon. Believers gathered at the spring. But miraculously, the icon was not given into the hands of Father Dimitry Mitekin. Then the priest fell to his knees and began to repent of his sins with tears, praying to the Mother of God and the parishioners for forgiveness ... Then the icon surfaced again and it was taken by the same Pasha Gavrilenkova. Since then, the holy image has not left the village.

Until 1925, religious processions were organized with the miraculous icon of the Mother of God. The news of what happened in Tashla spread throughout the Volga region. People walked and walked to the icon and to the source. This place has become one of the most revered in the Volga region. That is why the new authorities, who declared war on Orthodoxy, put so much effort into destroying the very memory of the miracle. The church was closed, and the believers saved the icon from desecration - they secretly passed it from hut to hut. Then the atheists decided to put an end to the spring as well. They set up a cattle yard near it, and the holy place was soon littered with manure. But the spring survived, only made its way in one more place, a few steps from the former - Bogorodichny.
During the war there was no time for atheism - the church was reopened. The miraculous icon also returned to it.
The icon of the Most Holy Theotokos "The Redeemer from Troubles" is still in the Trinity Church of the village of Tashla, and in Samara Intercession cathedral a copy of this icon is stored. And in the bathhouse, made on the site of the appearance of the icon, many healings from various ailments still take place.
"Love boundless suffering people
Nourishes to the Queen of Heaven.
In Tashla and now pilgrims go
Dear spiritual miraculous."
With these words, the unnamed author of the poetic "Tale" ends his ingenuous narration about the Tashli miracle.

Icon of the Mother of God "The deliverer from troubles"
This icon was found in the ground in the village of Tashla, Stavropol district, Samara region, in October 1917. Heavenly angels, God's messengers, showed people a place, at the bottom of a ravine, where they should look for a miraculous icon. A yard-deep hole was dug, and the searchers removed from the ground a very small icon of the Most Holy Theotokos "The Redeemer from Troubles", which lay face up, the size of a notebook sheet. And right there in that place a spring appeared - a strong stream of water made its way from the depths. Stories of many amazing healings are connected with the icon and the source. The icon of the Mother of God "The deliverer from troubles" has become a shrine of the Samara land. At the site of her appearance, at the source, people built a chapel and a well, where prayers were often served. The well was deepened and cleaned, and in the dry 1920s it was almost the only source supplying the village with water. The small Samara village of Tashla has become a place of pilgrimage for believers from all over Russia. They worship miraculous icon, bathe in a holy spring, collect healing water for relatives and friends - as a great shrine they bring it home.

The phenomenon of the icon
According to eyewitnesses
Report of Atyaksheva Theodosia Davidovna, a native of the village of Musorki, Stavropol district, Kuibyshev region, 1885, about the appearance of the icon of the Mother of God, which was 1917 on Sunday, October 8 (old style) in the village of Tashla.

“I, Atyaksheva Feodosia Davidovna, lived in a separate house, as in a cell, and the girl Chugunova Ekaterina Nikanorovna, a native of the village of Tashla, lived with me, 1885.

I, Theodosia, before the Cross and the Gospel, I assure you how this phenomenon was: on the morning of October 21 (new style), when we woke up, Catherine told me that she would go to mass in the church with. Tashla, and left, and I decided to go to my temple with. Garbage cans. When I returned to their church, Ekaterina came and said: “There was no service in Tashla, because the priest left for Samara and did not return; but here’s what I have to tell you. Tonight the Mother of God appeared to me in a dream for the third time and said sternly that if I did not fulfill Her order, I would be punished. Each time, appearing to me in a dream, She said that I should dig out an icon from the ground of Her in the indicated place. This morning, when I was passing to the village of Tashla, over in a ravine I saw two angels carrying an icon of the Mother of God, illuminated by a bright radiance, and when they sank to the bottom of the ravine, this vision disappeared, and I fainted. When I woke up, I went to my relatives and told them about all this, and they told me that some people hear there, in the ravine, church singing. I beg you, Fenya, let's go together right now to that place, maybe you will see what I saw. We went together to Tashla, and when we came to this ravine, Catherine cried out: “Look, look, here again the angels are carrying the icon in radiance, heading to the same place, and now everything has disappeared again ...” After these words, Catherine fell without consciousness. I was very frightened, not knowing what to do with her, since the place is deserted, no one can be seen. Thank God it didn't last long.
Ekaterina woke up and asked me if I saw anything, but I didn't see anything. We went to Gavrilenkova Paraskeva, who lives not far from the ravine, and begged her to go with us to the ravine. Pasha took the trump and we went. When we approached the ravine, Catherine again shouted: “Look, look, here again the angels are carrying an icon and disappearing in the same place,” and she again fainted.
Waking up, Ekaterina went to the place where she saw the disappearance of the vision three times, and showed where to dig. Pasha began to dig in this place with a pick, and the boy Petya, who was standing there, was sent for a shovel. Soon Petya came along with his father, Zakhary Krivoichenkov, who began to dig with a shovel, but dug a little and said: "Well, what was she thinking, what is there to dig in vain."

As soon as Zakhary had time to utter these words, he was immediately thrown aside, as if by a wind, and lay in a swoon for some time, and when he woke up, he took a shovel and unquestioningly continued to dig in the indicated place. Paraskeva, in this hole, from time to time pierced with a trump. And so, when the hole was a arshin deep, Paraskeva felt something hard with her trump, she began to tear the earth with her hands and took out of the earth an icon of the Mother of God, a small format, which was lying face up. As soon as Paraskeva took the icon out of the ground, a spring of water appeared in that place. By this time, a lot of people had already gathered, and Catherine was lying in a relaxed state, and she was sent to her sister.
They decided to send a priest to the village of Musorka in order to transfer the revealed icon to the church in the village of Tashla.
Father Vasily Krylov, a priest, came from Musorka. He took the icon and carried it to the temple.
When approaching the temple to meet the icons, to the sound of bells, they went out to the banners and icons. From the crowd there were cries of the well-known sick Anna Torlova (a native of the village of Tashla), who was shouting: "Coming, coming, a small icon will drive us out ...". This woman was healed and had been ill for 32 years. The icon was brought into the temple, put under glass along with the icon of the Holy Trinity, and placed on an anole in the middle of the temple.
Priest Fr. Vasily Krylov immediately served a prayer service, and the temple was open all night for access to the icon. At that time, there was a case: one Tashli woman did not believe the appearance of the icon and began to shout: "These are all inventions ...". After her words, she ran out of the temple, jumped off the high porch, jumped over the fence and ran home, and after that she fell ill.
On Monday, October 22 (new style) came from the village. Trash priest Fr. Alexey Smolensky. He served the Liturgy and a prayer service in the church, and in the evening his priest Fr. Dimitri Mitekin. He saw that there were a lot of people in the church, and learned that the icon of the Mother of God "The Redeemer from Troubles" had appeared, and served the vigil. On Tuesday, October 23, the Liturgy was served, and after the Liturgy, they went in procession with the icon of the Deliverer from Troubles to the place of the apparition, and a prayer service was served there.

There were also many healings during this time. The rumor about the appearance of the miraculous icon very quickly spread throughout the surrounding areas, and entire crowds constantly went to worship the icon. A well and a chapel were equipped at the source, where they often left the temple to serve prayers.
The well was deepened and cleaned, and in the dry years of 1920-1922. he was almost the only one supplying water to the village. From the moment the icon appeared, all this time was accompanied by many miraculous healings of the sick; but despite this, in the rector of the church of the Holy Trinity, the priest Fr. Dimitri Mitekina always had some kind of doubt, lack of faith in the appearance of the icon.
And then a miracle happened: on Saturday, December 23 (new style), the all-night vigil was served in the church of the Holy Trinity, during which the icon "The Redeemer from Troubles" was in the church, and on the morning of December 24 on Sunday they found that the icon was not in the church. The icon disappeared from the locked church.
At the same time, the church watchman Efim Kulikov informed the priest about. Demetrius that when he went to the temple in the morning, he saw, as it were, lightning flashing from the temple towards the source.

After the Liturgy, they went in procession to the spring and served a moleben there, but the icon was nowhere to be seen. On the same day, December 24, I, Theodosia Atyaksheva, heard a rumor about the disappearance of the icon, and as soon as I came from the church, I went to the village of Tashla. When I met Ekaterina, she told me with tears about the disappearance and begged me to immediately go with her to the source. As soon as we saw the chapel, Catherine joyfully exclaimed: "Look, look, the icon is shining over the chapel." We returned to the village, came to the headman of the temple, Ivan Efremovich, who had the key to the chapel, he called some more old people, and went to the source. When the chapel was opened and the well was being created, it seemed to our eyes: the ice in the well had melted a little, and in that place the icon of the Mother of God was floating face up. We were all seized with the greatest joy, and one of those present ran after Father Fr. Dimitri. When about. Demetrius arrived, he gladly scooped up an icon from the well with a bucket, took it in his hands, lifted it in front of him and said that they should immediately go to the temple and with banners and icons go to the source, and he himself stood in the same position with the icon until the arrival procession and prayed. To the chime of the bells, he returned with the icon to the temple.
Father Dimitry Mitekin immediately served a thanksgiving service in front of the icon of the Mother of God "The Deliverer from Troubles", and he himself tearfully prayed and repented that he personally takes this disappearance of the icon for his guilt, for his doubt and lack of faith shown towards this appearance of the icon Mother of God "Savior from troubles".
The icon was again erected in the church of the Holy Trinity in the village of Tashla, and again a stream of prayer books from different places began to worship the icon of the Deliverer from Troubles, and many who flowed with faith to Her received various healings.

Oh, All-beloved, our All-Beloved Mother, have mercy now and have mercy on us, in the fierce and hopeless misfortunes of those who exist, the One Existing One who delivers us, and teach us to heartily sing to God who saves us: Alleluia.

The mercy of the Mother of God is poured out onto the earth through a multitude of revealed icons. Due to the weakness of human faith, hard 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 “The Redeemer from Troubles” appeared in Russia, the history of wanderings and miracles of which shows the mercy and love of the Mother of God for the human race, Her patience and forgiveness of human sins.

The first miracles from the icon in Greece

In 1822, Hieromonk Theodulus from the Peloponnese (Southern Greece) gave his disciple Martinian a small icon of the Mother of God "The Redeemer from Troubles" as a blessing. Martinian led a wandering life, moving from village to village, sometimes stopping in deserted places to pray. He wore the teacher's gift on his chest, having built a small case.

Some time later, the Lady deigned to glorify Her image with miracles. In 1844, when the peasants of Sparta were suffering from an invasion of locusts, Martinian called them to pray to the Mother of God.

Prayer in front of the icon "The Redeemer from Troubles"

The icon "The Redeemer from Troubles" was installed in the middle of the field, all the villages gathered for a prayer service. As soon as they finished praying, the clouds of pests dispersed, leaving only a small amount on the trees. The despair of the peasants was replaced by jubilation when a flock of birds swooped in and pecked at the remaining insects.

The rumor about the event quickly spread through the villages and soon people reached out to Martinian, bringing their illnesses and difficulties to the Mother of God. The help of the Blessed Virgin was so generous that the monk did not have enough time for prayer, since he constantly received visitors. Among the miracles of that time, the resurrection of a child who died from an illness and the healing of a demon-possessed woman became known.

Martinian decided to run away from human glory, hiding in the inaccessible mountain desert. But the Mother of God demanded to return to the suffering.

Arrival of the "Redeemer" to the Caucasus

Having grown old, Martinian settled in the Russian Panteleimon Monastery on the city of Athos (Greece). At that time, it became known that a Russian monastery was being built on the Caucasian coast of the Black Sea, imitating St. Mount Athos, New Athos. Some monks from the St. Panteleimon Monastery went to arrange monastic life there. Imbued with love for the new Caucasian brethren, Martinian bequeathed after his death to send her the miraculous “Deliverer” as a gift.

In 1889, the icon, accompanied by the abbot of the New Athos Monastery, Archim. Hierona, arrived on the coast of Abkhazia, where a solemn meeting was arranged for the Mother of God.

Icon of the Mother of God "The Redeemer"

At this time, Russia was shocked by the catastrophe that happened at the Borki station (near Kharkov), when the train with the Imperial Family was wrecked. By a miracle of God, none of royalty not injured. Emperor Alexander III was returning after visiting the Caucasus, where he rested and visited the New Athos Monastery.

In honor of the miraculous deliverance of the Royal Family from death, the celebration of the arrived shrine was set on October 17, the day of the catastrophe. As soon as the liturgy was served that day, a storm arose in the sea, throwing a lot of fish ashore, from which they prepared a treat for the worshipers.

The disappearance of the icon after the revolution

For a long time, the Deliverer from Troubles adorned the temple built for her in the New Athos Monastery. Miracles did not stop from the image, they were recorded, sealed with the signatures of many witnesses, incl. high officials. The records were short: such and such a Cossack or peasant was healed from the image, the date and month. People from all over Russia flocked to the Caucasus.

After the revolution of 1917, the New Athos brethren managed to keep the monastery from being closed and ruined for a long time. But in 1924 the monastery was finally closed and the monks dispersed to the mountain slums, saving the shrines of the monastery. The Redeemer icon was taken by one of the monks, who later became a priest in Gudauta (Abkhazia).

Procession with the icon of the Mother of God "Savior"

Interesting. After the Great Patriotic War the attitude towards the Church improved, and a temple was opened in Gudauta, where the “Redeemer” was placed in a decorated icon case and opened for worship to the parishioners.

But soon the Mother of God was pleased to leave the Caucasus.

Pochaev's "The Redeemer"

Attention. The current location of the original Redeemer is unknown. There are suggestions that she was taken to Pochaev (Ukraine).

In 1992, an old icon of a small size (12 by 15 cm), similar to the original, was transferred by the elderly nun Gabriela to the Lavra, where it remains to this day. The staritsa received the image from the priest of the same Lavra in 1970 with the instruction to “launch the icon along the Dnieper River”. In those years, the Pochaev Lavra was under the threat of ruin, and in this way he wanted to save the shrine. But the nun did not dare to throw the image into the river and kept it in her house.

Pochaev Lavra

After some time, the image of the Mother of God was miraculously renewed and the nun decided to transfer it to the Lavra. Since the stay of the miraculous icon in the Holy Cross Church, cases of healings have been recorded.

Appearance of the "Redeemer" in Tashla

Important. The Blessed Virgin hid the location of the original of Her icon, appearing in various places in Russia with Her holy image of the “Redeemer”. By this, She showed that grace does not come from a specific thing, but is present everywhere by the will of God.

In 1917, the appearance of the image of the “Deliverer from Troubles” occurred in the village. Tashla, Samara region A resident of an inconspicuous village, Ekaterina Chugunova, more than once saw in reality two Angels lowering the image of the Most Holy Theotokos into a ravine. The long-suffering Lord repeated the phenomenon, overcoming the mistrust of Catherine and her fellow villagers. Clear miracles of God took place even when the woman persuaded the neighbors to go to the specified ravine with shovels to look for the holy icon.

Tashla. Church of the Icon of the Holy Mother of God

Having dug out a large pit filled with water, the peasants finally found in it a small image of the Virgin, written on a board, exactly like the New Athos “Redeemer”. A local priest was called, the icon was taken to the church and a prayer service was served. The healing of a resident of Tashla, who had been ill for 32 years, immediately followed. At the place where the "Redeemer" was found, a spring clogged, a chapel was built over it.

IN post-revolutionary years the church in Tashla, which keeps the miraculous image, suffered severe harassment. An expensive robe was torn off from the Redeemer, and they tried to steal and destroy the icon itself, but the Blessed Virgin returned Her image to its place. After the temple was closed in 1932, the inhabitants of Tashla kept the icon in their houses, passing it on to each other. The church was reopened after the Great Patriotic War and the "Redeemer" returned to the place where it remains to this day.

Marov icon

Another miraculous list from the Redeemer was made in Jerusalem, in late XIX V. He was brought to the Nizhny Novgorod province. When the icon was being transported past the village of Mary, the icon suddenly became so heavy that the cart could not move. Understanding the will of the Blessed Virgin, the image was left in the local Holy Cross Monastery. After the closing of the monastery in 1927, the inhabitants of Mary preserved the holy icon. Currently, the shrine has returned to the revival monastery. The image is glorified by many miracles.

Images on the icons of the Redeemer and their meaning

The Mother of God is depicted in the image of the "Hodegetria" (Guide), according to legend, first written by the Evangelist Luke. The Divine Infant sits on Her left hand, holding a rolled scroll in her hand. The Mother of God points with her right hand to Christ - the only way believer (hence the name "Guidebook"). Artistic details also make sense:

  • The clothes of the Mother of God - a blue chiton and a red maforium - symbolize virgin purity and royal majesty.
  • Three stars on the maphoria of the Mother of God mean Her indestructible virginity, while one star is covered by the figure of the Divine Infant. This symbolizes the incarnation of Christ from the "virgin womb".
  • Clothes of Christ - white color with gilding - holiness and grace of God
  • The scroll in the hand of the Divine Infant is the Old Law, the action of which ended with the appearance of Christ.
  • The golden salary on the icon symbolizes Divine Light who wears all that is holy. The floral ornament on its corners is the life-giving force of this Light.

The image of the "Redeemer", which is now in the New Athos Monastery, is supplemented by the figures of the Apostle Simon the Zealot and the Healer Panteleimon. The Great Martyr Panteleimon, the patron of the Russian monastery on Athos, as if conveys the image to Simon the Zealot, the patron of the New Athos monastery. The board with the figures of saints used to be an icon case for the "Redeemer", a small image was inserted into a niche cut between the saints.

New Athos Monastery

With the loss of the original icon, the image of the Vmch. Panteleimon, Ap. Simon and the image of the Virgin is written as a special plot.

Unfortunately for the Orthodox pilgrims, the monastery in New Athos is now in schism with the Russian Orthodox Church, which makes it difficult to pray at the image of the Virgin: a visit to the monastery is not recommended by the hierarchy of the Moscow Patriarchate.

Interesting. The original image of the "Redeemer" inspired contemporary artists for writing various options icons where symbolism and canonicity may not be respected.

Pilgrimages to the icon and petitions to the Mother of God "Redeemer"

The most revered icon in Russia is Tashlinskaya. As the very name of the image says, prayer in front of it relieves various troubles. They turn to the Mother of God in illness, for deliverance from drug addiction, in danger of global catastrophes. Tashli Icon of the Mother of God

The enemy of the human race does not sleep: publications periodically appear in the press about the danger of the Tashli source for health, about the “trade” in holy water. But the Mother of God and faith overcome his intrigues and the flow of believers to Tashla has not dried up for decades.

In 2013, the Volga Cossacks, with the blessing of the Patriarch, organized an all-Russian procession with a holy icon. The Empress again set off across the earth to heal the suffering.

Icon and Prayer of the Mother of God "The Redeemer from Troubles"

Icon of the Mother of God "The deliverer from troubles"

The mercy of the Mother of God is poured out onto the earth through a multitude of 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.

Description of the icon of the Mother of God "The deliverer from troubles."

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

The glorification of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos "The Redeemer" began in 1841, when, through prayers before her, one of the Greek provinces got rid of the invasion of locusts. The miracles emanating from the icon of the Mother of God attracted many pilgrims to it, which weighed on the keeper of the shrine, Elder Martinian, a former resident 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 rector of the monastery donated the miraculous icon of the Mother of God to Russia for the New Athos Simono-Kananitsky Monastery opened in the Caucasus.

The icon of the Mother of God "The Redeemer" 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 was in an accident, but the emperor himself and his household miraculously remained alive and unharmed. Members of their miraculous salvation royal family associated with the patronage and intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 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 "The Redeemer" was established on October 17.

On some ancient images on the maphoria of the Virgin, five-pointed stars - pentagrams are depicted. Since ancient times, the pentagram means "Chosenness, duty, fidelity." Unfortunately, starting from the 16th century, the Masonic organizations began to use the pentagram, and later the communist ones, which led to an ambiguous attitude towards this ancient pious symbol.

There is another version of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos "The Redeemer", which depicts the holy apostle Simon the Zealot and the healer Panteleimon, holding the icon of the Mother of God against the background of the New Athos Simono-Kananitsky Monastery.

Before the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos “The Redeemer”, they pray for the healing of those suffering from demonic possession, from the invasion of locusts, for the healing of spiritual and bodily infirmities, during a disaster, for the sending of grace-filled power in resolving difficult circumstances.

Prayer to the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos "The deliverer from troubles."

O Mother of God, our help and protection, wake up our deliverer, we trust in You and always whole-heartedly call on You, have mercy and help, have mercy and deliver, incline Your ear and accept our sorrowful and tearful prayers, and as if you wish to calm and rejoice us who love Your beloved Son, to Him be glory, honor and worship, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever.

People from all over the world come to her to ask for help. In this article, we will consider in more detail what kind of icon it is, what it helps with, and how it appeared.

Image history

The icon of the Mother of God, the Redeemer from troubles, was located on 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 misfortune of locusts.

The celebration of the Redeemer icon is set for October 17th. 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 his entire family.

It should be noted that the name of the icon is the faith of Christians. This image The Mother of God saves from troubles and misfortunes all those who pray to her. The icon is located in the village of Tashla, which is located in the Samarovsk region. This village is quite devout and God commanded such a location of the Shrine.

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

The girl told about her dream to two friends. They decided to fulfill the will of the Queen and went to the indicated place to dig. During this process, a sufficiently large number of people gathered nearby to look at the undertaking. Some even laughed at them. And suddenly, all of a sudden, everything froze. Girls from the ground began to be seen icon. When it was completely excavated from the place where the Holy Face was located, a spring with healing water began to beat.

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

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

Since then, the icon of the Redeemer 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 Simono-Kananitsky Cathedral, which is located at the foot of the holy Mount Athos.

Created miracles

There are many stories about the miracle performed by the icon. One of them tells how a boy named Anastasy fell seriously ill and incurable disease. But despite all the efforts and the struggle of the parents and the baby with the disease, the boy was getting worse and worse. Seeing that nothing helps the child, the parents asked the priest to give communion to the child. But the priest did not have time to see the sick man, and the boy died.

On the way to the sick man, the priest invited the Martian with him. He brought with him the icon of the Redeemer from troubles. The priest, not giving himself peace of mind that he was late for the child, began praying with Martinian to the Mother of God and asking her to help resurrect the child. Throughout the entire time of prayer, the icon was on the body of Anastassy. Everyone asked for this, including the priest, the elder, and the parents.

What do they pray to the Holy Image

Orthodox believers, suffering from many problems and illnesses, come to ask for help to the face of the Mother of God. According to church beliefs, the Most Holy Theotokos helps only the prayers of people who are pure in spirit. Most often they pray to the icon of the Redeemer from troubles:

  • From getting rid of any addiction,
  • From deliverance from the torment brought by the disease,
  • Help in times of trouble
  • About deliverance from spiritual sadness.
