| The Konevits Icon of
the Mother of God: It was with this icon of Greek origin that John,
igumen of one of the Athonite monasteries, blessed Saint Arsenius,
founder of the Konevits monastery (June 12). The holy icon was glorified
by many miracles.
In the year 1610, during an invasion of the
Swedes into the Novgorod territory, the icon was transferred from the
Konevits monastery to the Novgorod Derevianits monastery with the
blessing of Archbishop Isidore of Novgorod. Each year on July 10 a
festal celebration of the Most Holy Theotokos took place at this
monastery in honor of Her holy icon. In the year 1799, with the blessing
of the Metropolitan Gabriel of Peterburg and Novgorod (+ January 26,
1801), the wonderworking icon was returned to the Konevits monastery.
The return of the icon to the Konevits Monastery is celebrated on
September 3 |
