A little history

Church Tradition says that the Face belongs to the brush of the Evangelist Luke and was painted on the material from which the table was made, which served as the place for the meal of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. Previously, the icon was in Constantinople and Jerusalem, and later it was presented as a gift to Yuri Dolgoruky. Then his heir moved the Face to the Assumption Cathedral in the city of Vladimir, from here the icon acquired its name.

After some time, the image ended up in Moscow, so faithful Christians saved it from Tamerlane’s troops.

According to ancient chronicles, Tamerlane retired after a strange vision: the Mother of God herself appeared to him and ordered him to leave the Christian land. Thus, for the first time, the Most Pure Virgin saved Rus' from imminent war.

The second miracle from the icon was the salvation of the Russian people from the invasion of the Tatar Khan.

And for the third time the Lady did not abandon Holy Rus': She prevented bloodshed during the attacks of the Kazan Khan.

There is a widely known case in history when 12 people found themselves under the collapsed gates of Vladimir. At the prayer of Prince Andrei before the Holy Face of the Mother of God, all the victims remained alive and did not receive serious injuries.

Attention! Currently, the miraculous Face of the Queen of Heaven is in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow.

One of the most revered in Russia is the Vladimir Icon, which is probably found in every Orthodox church. Prayers are offered to her at many ends of the earth, but she is revered in Orthodoxy - completely special.


How it protects

The Mother of God tirelessly prays for everyone - not only the righteous, but also those who cannot get rid of the power of sin. Such people need to especially diligently read prayers in front of the Vladimir Icon. The Lady of Heaven will help you defeat the passions that torment and burden the soul. This may be a desire to sully the purity of marriage with fornication. Or sinful thoughts against other people, anger and hatred against one’s neighbor.

There is a long chronicle of miracles performed thanks to the protection of the Mother of God. The main thing is to understand that grace is given by the Lord, and it is not so important how ancient and expensive the image is in front of you. It is sanctified by the Holy Spirit, and miracles happen by faith.


How to ask correctly

Prayer to the Vladimir Icon can be offered at any time. It is better to first turn to the Lord, read the daily petitions that are printed in the prayer book. Then the akathist is pronounced, or short prayer, or a petition in your own words. You can read as often as you like, as long as your mind is focused specifically on the process of turning to the Queen of Heaven. Mechanical pronunciation, especially repeated repetition, is not necessary, because it looks more like witchcraft.

There are no restrictions on the types of help that the Holy Spirit can provide to believers. Prayer to the icon of the Vladimir Mother of God is capable of many things:

  • protect children and adults from illness;
  • give a person spiritual food;
  • overcome many grave sins, erase what happened in the past;
  • bring back to church those who have not been attending for a long time.

There are different situations in life, it is important not to lose faith, even if it seems that there is no way out, the answer does not come. A person is most often to blame for this himself, because his desires change very often. But God is not a magician, he looks straight into the soul and knows when it is solid and when it looks like grass carried by the wind. So sometimes waiting is necessary.

Prayer to the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God will give peace if done reverently, constantly, sincerely. The iconographic type of image is “Tenderness”, it shows all the warmth, sincerity, closeness of the relationship between man and God. The Lord of heaven himself diminished so much that his life depended on an earthly woman. Mutual trust and boundless love - that’s what this icon teaches. May prayer before her bring you spiritual renewal and salvation of your soul!
