Summary
DescriptionSaint Mary of Blachernae 8935.jpg |
English: On the picture: Another ‘Theotokos’ icon (also called ‘Theotokos Blachernitissa’), a reminder of the ‘Holy Hodigitria’ icon, now in Smolensk (Russia).
Important, old or precious icons were often revetted with a hammered silver cover; open spaces show the face(s) and the hands of the original painting. Moreover this icon is hanged with all kinds of ex-votos (including money), left by pilgrims. The Smolensk ‘Hodigitria’ icon was, according to Orthodox Church tradition, painted in Antioch by the evangelist Luke (as are reportedly many others). From Antioch, the holy image was transferred to Jerusalem. From there, Eudokia, the wife of Emperor Arcadius, gave it to Pulcheria, the sister of the emperor, at Constantinople. Pulcheria had the icon put in the Blachernae Church. In 1101, Vladimir Monomach, removed it to the Cathedral of Smolensk where it acquired the name ‘Hodigitria of Smolensk.’ Source: The ‘Orthodox Christianity’ internetsite (concerning the ‘Smolensk Hodigitria’ icon). |
