The Vladimir icon of the Mother of God was painted by the Evangelist Luke on a board from the table where the Savior ate with the Most Pure Mother and the righteous Joseph. The Mother of God, seeing this image, said: "From now on, all births will please Me. May the grace of Him who was born of Me and Mine be with this icon." In 1131, the icon was sent to Russia from Constantinople to the Holy Prince Mstislav (+ 1132, April 15) and was placed in the Maiden Monastery of Vyshgorod - the ancient appanage city of the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Grand Duchess Olga. The son of Yuri Dolgoruky, St. Andrew Bogolyubsky, brought the icon to Vladimir in 1155 and placed it in the famous Assumption Cathedral erected by him. Since that time, the icon has been named the Vladimir icon. In 1395, the icon was first brought to Moscow. Thus, with the blessing of the Mother of God, the spiritual bonds of Byzantium and Russia were sealed - through Kiev, Vladimir and Moscow. The Vladimir Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos is celebrated several times a year (May 21, June 23, August 26). The most solemn celebration takes place on August 26, established in honor of the presentation of the Vladimir Icon when it was transferred from Vladimir to Moscow. In 1395, the terrible conqueror Tamerlane Khan (Temir-Aksak) reached the borders of Ryazan, took the city of Yelets and, heading towards Moscow, approached the banks of the Don. Grand Duke Vasily Dimitrievich went out with his army to Kolomna and stopped on the banks of the Oka River. He prayed to the saints of Moscow and St. Sergius for the deliverance of the Fatherland and wrote to the Metropolitan of Moscow, St. Cyprian (September 16), so that the coming Dormition fast would be dedicated to fervent prayers for mercy and repentance. Clergy were sent to Vladimir, where the famous miraculous icon was located. After the liturgy and prayer service on the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the clergy accepted the icon and carried it to Moscow in a procession. Countless people on both sides of the road, kneeling, prayed: "Mother of God, save the Russian land!" At the very hour when the residents of Moscow met the icon on the Kuchkov field, Tamerlane was dozing in his tent. Suddenly he saw in a dream a great mountain, from the top of which the saints were coming to him with golden rods, and above them a Majestic Wife appeared in radiant radiance. She ordered him to leave the borders of Russia. Waking up in awe, Tamerlane asked about the meaning of the vision. Those who know answered that the radiant Wife is the Mother of God, the great Defender of Christians. Then Tamerlane gave the order to the regiments to go back. In memory of the miraculous deliverance of the Russian land from Tamerlane, the Sretensky Monastery was built on the Kuchkov field, where the icon was met, and on August 26, an all-Russian celebration was established in honor of the presentation of the Vladimir Icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Russian Russian Church history witnessed the most important events in front of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God: the election and installation of St. Jonah, the Primate of the Autocephalous Russian Church (1448), St. Job, the first Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia (1589), His Holiness Patriarch Tikhon (1917). On the day of the celebration in honor of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, the enthronement was performed His Holiness Patriarch Pimen of Moscow and All Russia - May 21/June 3, 1971 The historical days of May 21, June 23 and August 26, associated with this holy icon, have become memorable days of the Russian Orthodox Church.
