Unit price perA favorite image of the Virgin Mary to the faithful is the “Glykophilousa”. The source of inspiration is the well-known original historical icon of Panagia Glykophilousi of the Holy Monastery of Filotheos on Mount Athos.
The story of this image has to do with iconoclasm. During the reign of Emperor Theophilus in the first decades of the 9th century, the wife of Symeon Patrikios Victoria, a pious and virtuous woman, had this image in her house. But because the opponents of the Icons were also searching the houses for pictures and burning them, the woman was forced to remove her. He took the icon, took it to the shore of Constantinople, and prayed to the Virgin Mary to preserve it. The Icon stood up and started sailing.
Tradition states that it anchored on the east side of Mount Athos and specifically in the port of the holy Monastery of Philotheos. But at that time Philotheou had not yet been founded. So the Icon remained, unknown where, for 150 years. And when the Monastery of Philotheos was built and rebuilt in Koinovio, it made its appearance on the shore. The Fathers saw her and went down in procession. Approaching it, they saw it sparkle and with the first movements of the abbot towards the sea, the Icon was handed over to him. Leaving the sea at the place where it was deposited, a holy water gushed forth, which still exists today. With prayers and thanks they placed her in the central church of the Monastery.
