The Kykkos Icon of the Mother of God the Merciful in Cyprus: how the Mother of God helps with prayers, as well as a list of the image of the Mother of God in the Zachastevsky Monastery

Kykkos Icon of the Mother of God. XVII century 1668 Icon painting school: Armory Chamber. Icon painter: Ushakov Simon (Pimen) Fedorovich. Origin: from the local row of the main iconostasis of the Church of St. Gregory of Neocaesarea on Bolshaya Polyanka in Moscow. Material; wood, tempera. Dimensions of the icon: height 130 cm, width 76 cm. The icon is one of the copies of the ancient miraculous icon of the Mother of God from the island of Cyprus, located in the monastery on Mount Kykkos. The inscription-title of the icon of Eleus Kikkotissa is written in Greek. Inv. No. 28691. State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow

Cypriots call this image of the Mother of God, extraordinary in its beauty, “Kikkiotis”. This engraving was made back in the 16th century on a silver chasuble with gilding. In Russia, the icon is called “Kykkos” or “Merciful-Kykkos”. such an unusual name for Russian ears from the men's monastery located on Mount Kokkos or Kykkos Fr. Cyprus .

Description and meaning

The iconography of the “Kykkos” image is very interesting. It shows the Queen of Heaven praying to our Lord Jesus Christ for the salvation of Christians. On ancient lists the Mother of God is depicted from the waist up. With her face She touches the head of the Infant Christ sitting on her left hand.

Useful materials

This feature speaks of the boundless love of the Mother of God and the Infant. The Savior is presented in an unusual, as if playing, pose: it seems as if his open legs are taking steps. His left hand is hidden in the fold of the maforia, and in his right hand there is a scroll.

Caption for the icon:

Nimbus On the halo of the Mother of God are written the words from the akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos: “Rejoice, Unbrided Bride.” This is a poetic interpretation of Archangel Gabriel’s greeting during the Annunciation: “Hail, full of grace” (Luke 1:28).

Three stars Three stars are a symbol of the Holy Trinity, as well as symbols of the virginity of the Virgin Mary.

Crown The crown on the head of the Virgin Mary is a symbol of the Queen of Heaven. This is how believers often turn to the Virgin Mary.

Folded Hands Folded hands, bowed head and downcast gaze depict submission to the will of God.

Story

The story is amazing and mysterious. We first learn about him from the story “The Tale of Three Icons Written by St. Luke, where each of them is located, and the icon of the Mother of God, called Kykkos, which is located in Cyprus” by the 125-year-old hieromonk Gregory, resident of the Kykkos monastery. Date of creation: 1422.

In the Orthodox capital

The narrative begins with the creation by the Apostle Luke, guided by the Archangel Gabriel, of three iconographic images of the Mother of God, blessed by the Mother of God Herself. One of them - “Eleusa” (translated from Greek - “Merciful”) - later began to be called Kykkos.

After a while, the apostle takes his icon paintings to Egypt. Further, “The Legend..” has some plot inconsistencies. Thus, in the introduction, the author says that a few years later “Eleusa” was sent by the “pious kings” to Athens. However, in the main part of the story, Hieromonk Gregory sets out another version: due to the persecution of Christians, the icon of the Mother of God was sent to Constantinople in 980.

During the sea voyage, the ship was captured by the Saracens, but then freed by Constantinople sailors. They delivered the icon to Constantinople (the capital of Byzantium), where it was placed in the royal palace.

Transfer to the monastery on the island. Cyprus

At the beginning of the 12th century, under the Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, the image of the Mother of God was transferred to the island of Cyprus. This was the will of the Queen of Heaven Herself.

One day, the Byzantine commander, ruler of Cyprus, Manuel Voutomitis, was hunting in the Troodos Mountains and lost his way. Having met the hermit monk Saint Isaiah and not receiving an answer from him about the way to Lefkosia (now Nicosia is the capital of the island), Manuel angrily beats the elder, and soon after that he becomes seriously ill.

Realizing that this is how he is punished for his sinful act, Manuel tearfully appeals to God with a request to heal him and grant him the opportunity to ask for forgiveness from the monk who was undeservedly offended by him.

At this time, the Mother of God Herself came to the monk Isaiah in a dream, telling about the sincere repentance of the Cypriot ruler and commanded that, as penance, he bring Her icon from Constantinople to the island.

In the Kykkos Monastery on Mount Kykkos, Fr. Cyprus

Soon after the miraculous healing, Manuel Vutomitis is summoned to the emperor, but he cannot find the right moment to voice his request. At this time, the only beloved daughter of Emperor Alexei I became seriously ill. The best Byzantine doctors were powerless. Realizing that this is the right time to fulfill his promise, he tells his inconsolable father about his healing, about the request of a Cypriot monk to transfer the icon to the island. As soon as the autocrat gave his consent, the princess was immediately healed.

But for delaying the fulfillment of his vow, he suffered the same illness as his daughter and the ruler Manuel. Repentant, the Byzantine ruler ordered the best Constantinople painter to make a copy of the beautiful face and then send it to Cyprus.

But the Mother of God appeared in a dream and strictly commanded him: “Leave your icon here, and immediately send Mine to the island to the monk Isaiah, for this is what pleases me.”

Another version says that Elder Isaiah arrived in Constantinople for the icon. The cunning emperor suggested that the monk choose between two icons and the genuine one.

At night, in a dream, the monk saw the Mother of God, who told him: “The icon on which the bee lands is genuine.”

So the next day Rev. Isaiah made the right choice. Since then, the bee has become a kind of “coat of arms” of the monastery as an ancient symbol of hard work, purity, and monastic service to God.

After these events, the king sent the honest image on his ship, accompanied by his retinue, to the island to the Venerable. Isaiah. The Cypriot ruler Manuel specially allocated money for the construction of a temple in the name of the Most Holy Theotokos and ordered him to help in everything.

The elder built a temple on Mount Kykkos, where the holy image was placed. Ruler Manuel granted three settlements and over time, an Imperial monastery appeared near the temple, since it was built at the expense of Alexei I. Today it is the Kykkos stauropegic monastery.

Miracles

As soon as the icon was transferred to the island of Cyprus, miracles immediately began to occur from it. The chronicle of the Kykkos monastery tells about the fourfold salvation of the monastery from fire, miraculous healings, the gift of long-awaited children, the sending of rain in dry, lean years, and the salvation of the monastery from an invasion of locusts.

One monk, mute from birth, standing by the icon, spoke. Another dying monk suddenly became healthy. The pagan, who swung at the holy image, immediately lost his hand. As a reminder of this, an iron hand was hung next to the icon.

Excerpt characterizing Eleus

“Tell me, apparently...” He didn’t finish and smiled a painfully false smile. Having returned to the regiment and conveyed to the commander what the situation was with Denisov’s case, Rostov went to Tilsit with a letter to the sovereign. On June 13, the French and Russian emperors gathered in Tilsit. Boris Drubetskoy asked the important person with whom he was a member to be included in the retinue appointed to be in Tilsit. “Je voudrais voir le grand homme, [I would like to see a great man," he said, speaking about Napoleon, whom he, like everyone else, had always called Buonaparte. – Vous parlez de Buonaparte? [Are you talking about Buonaparte?] - the general told him, smiling. Boris looked questioningly at his general and immediately realized that this was a joke test. “Mon prince, je parle de l'empereur Napoleon, [Prince, I'm talking about Emperor Napoleon," he answered. The general patted him on the shoulder with a smile. “You will go far,” he told him and took him with him. Boris was one of the few on the Neman on the day of the emperors' meeting; he saw the rafts with monograms, Napoleon's passage along the other bank past the French guard, he saw the thoughtful face of Emperor Alexander, while he sat silently in a tavern on the bank of the Neman, waiting for Napoleon's arrival; I saw how both emperors got into the boats and how Napoleon, having first landed on the raft, walked forward with quick steps and, meeting Alexander, gave him his hand, and how both disappeared into the pavilion. Since his entry into the higher worlds, Boris made himself a habit of carefully observing what was happening around him and recording it. During a meeting in Tilsit, he asked about the names of those persons who came with Napoleon, about the uniforms that they were wearing, and listened carefully to the words that were said by important persons. At the very time the emperors entered the pavilion, he looked at his watch and did not forget to look again at the time when Alexander left the pavilion. The meeting lasted an hour and fifty-three minutes: he wrote it down that evening among other facts that he believed were of historical significance. Since the emperor’s retinue was very small, for a person who valued success in his service, being in Tilsit during the meeting of the emperors was a very important matter, and Boris, once in Tilsit, felt that from that time his position was completely established. They not only knew him, but they took a closer look at him and got used to him. Twice he carried out orders for the sovereign himself, so that the sovereign knew him by sight, and all those close to him not only did not shy away from him, as before, considering him a new person, but would have been surprised if he had not been there. Boris lived with another adjutant, the Polish Count Zhilinsky. Zhilinsky, a Pole raised in Paris, was rich, passionately loved the French, and almost every day during his stay in Tilsit, French officers from the guard and the main French headquarters gathered for lunch and breakfast with Zhilinsky and Boris. On the evening of June 24, Count Zhilinsky, Boris's roommate, arranged a dinner for his French acquaintances. At this dinner there was an honored guest, one of Napoleon's adjutants, several officers of the French Guard and a young boy of an old aristocratic French family, Napoleon's page. On this very day, Rostov, taking advantage of the darkness so as not to be recognized, in civilian dress, arrived in Tilsit and entered the apartment of Zhilinsky and Boris. In Rostov, as well as in the entire army from which he came, the revolution that took place in the main apartment and in Boris was still far from accomplished in relation to Napoleon and the French, who had become friends from enemies. Everyone in the army still continued to experience the same mixed feelings of anger, contempt and fear towards Bonaparte and the French. Until recently, Rostov, talking with Platovsky Cossack officer, argued that if Napoleon had been captured, he would have been treated not as a sovereign, but as a criminal. Just recently, on the road, having met a wounded French colonel, Rostov became heated, proving to him that there could be no peace between the legitimate sovereign and the criminal Bonaparte. Therefore, Rostov was strangely struck in Boris’s apartment by the sight of French officers in the very uniforms that he was accustomed to look at completely differently from the flanker chain. As soon as he saw the French officer leaning out of the door, that feeling of war, of hostility, which he always felt at the sight of the enemy, suddenly seized him. He stopped on the threshold and asked in Russian if Drubetskoy lived here. Boris, hearing someone else's voice in the hallway, came out to meet him. His face at the first minute, when he recognized Rostov, expressed annoyance. “Oh, it’s you, I’m very glad, very glad to see you,” he said, however, smiling and moving towards him. But Rostov noticed his first movement. “It seems like I’m at the wrong time,” he said, “I wouldn’t have come, but I have something to do,” he said coldly... “No, I’m just surprised how you came from the regiment.” “Dans un moment je suis a vous,” [I am at your service this very minute," he turned to the voice of the one calling him. “I see that I’m not on time,” Rostov repeated. The expression of annoyance had already disappeared from Boris's face; Having apparently thought it over and decided what to do, he with particular calm took him by both hands and led him into the next room. Boris's eyes, calmly and firmly looking at Rostov, seemed to be covered with something, as if some kind of screen - blue dormitory glasses - were put on them. So it seemed to Rostov.

The Mystery of the Kykkos Icon

The miraculous image of the “Merciful One” (“Eleusa”) in the Kykkos Monastery on Fr. Cyprus

The Kykkos icon has not been fully studied. The mystery remains that since the time of Alexios I Komnenos, the faces of the Virgin and Child have been hidden under a veil. Nobody dares to take it off.

Tradition tells that when Patriarch Gerasim of Alexandria lifted the veil in 1699, he immediately became blind. The merciful Lady granted healing to the Patriarch after long prayers for forgiveness and mercy.

Interesting fact

The veil is removed only in years of drought or crop failure, when the monks take the icon to the top of the Troni (Throne) and serve a prayer service. At this moment they turn the bright face of the Mother of God to the sky, then only remove the veil. After praying, the monks again cover the image with a veil, turn its Face towards them and bring it into the monastery.

Tenderness, or Eleusa (Greek Ελεούσα - merciful, merciful, from έλεος - compassion, sympathy) is one of the main types of depiction of the Mother of God in Russian icon painting. Also, “Tenderness” is the name of individual icons of the Mother of God. For example, the Old Russian icon “Tenderness” or “Tenderness” of Pskov-Pechersk.

The Tenderness Icon of Seraphim-Diveevskaya is an uncharacteristic image of the Mother of God. Usually the Virgin Mary is depicted with the Christ Child. But the plot of this icon dates back to the moment before the birth of Christ, but after the Annunciation, when the Archangel Gabriel conveyed to the Mother of God the news of the imminent birth of the Savior.

Venerated lists of Our Lady of Kykkos

The oldest list that has survived to this day is considered to be an icon from the monastery of St. Catherine in Sinai. Presumably, it was written in the first half or mid-12th century. The iconography of this miraculous image develops to a throne form. The Mother of God sits on the throne, turning ¾ to the left and bending towards the Infant of God. Their figures are inscribed in an arch, above which there are medallions with archangels worshiping them.

In the 15th-16th centuries, the miraculous image of “Kykkos” began to spread throughout the Orthodox East in a large number of copies. In our country, the icon has been known since the late 16th – early 17th centuries. due to the influence of Byzantine culture and Cypriot shrines. Famous icons of this edition of that time are the icon paintings of Simon Ushakov for the Temple in honor of St. Gregory of Neocaesarea in Moscow and the Holy Dormition Monastery “Florishcheva Pustyn” of the Suzdal (now Nizhny Novgorod) diocese. Today the first work is in the Tretyakov Gallery, and the Vladimir-Kikkskaya is stored in the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve.

Conception Monastery

Revered list of the “Merciful” icon in the Conception Monastery

The most famous miraculous copy of the “Kykkos-Merciful” icon today is kept in the Conception Stauropegic Convent. Despite the fact that iconographically it has some differences from the Cypriot prototype, the monastic chronicle connects both of these icons.

According to the chronicle, the Zachatievsky list was first mentioned in the 18th century. During the persecution for the Christian religion, the monastery was closed and destroyed. In 1923, the shrine was moved to the nearby Church of Elijah the Prophet “Ordinary”. Only in 1999, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Alexei II, with a festive religious procession, the Mother of God “Merciful” returned to her native monastery.

November

2010

On the day of the celebration of the icon, the inhabitants of the Kykkos monastery gave a copy of the ancient icon “Kykkiotis”, kept on their island since the 12th century.

Every day the nun sisters ask for a blessing from their Heavenly Mother Superior. Many pilgrims come to the “Merciful Kykkos” in the hope of receiving peace in sorrows, help in needs, and healing of illnesses. The nuns of the Conception Monastery keep a chronicle of the miraculous help granted through prayers before the Gracious Icon.

Interesting fact

The people lovingly nicknamed the icon “The Listener,” or “The Listener.” The Mother of God is depicted with one ear open, as if listening to all the prayer appeals of believers addressed to her.

During the day (from 7 am to 20.00 pm) access to the main shrines of the monastery is open. Every week on Thursdays, a special touching service is performed in front of the icon - Paraklis, with the singing of a prayer canon to the Most Holy Theotokos and an akathist. Today it is possible to submit requests through the official website of the monastery.

Alexandria Metochion in Moscow

In the Church of All Saints in Kulishki (Metochion of the Alexandrian Orthodox Church in Moscow) there is a Greek copy of the “Kykkos”. Its peculiarity is the image of a bee on the frame. Every Wednesday at 17:30, before the miraculous list, a prayer service with an akathist is performed.

It is noteworthy that the abbot of the metochion is a monk of the Kykkos monastery.

Through Her miraculous icons, the Most Holy Theotokos gives believers the opportunity to touch Divine grace, which transforms and heals spiritually and physically. The Heavenly Intercessor of the Christian race will never abandon all those who sincerely seek the path of salvation.

Eleusa

Eleusa, Eleusa, Tenderness is one of the main types of depiction of the Mother of God in Russian icon painting. The Mother of God is depicted with the Child Christ sitting on Her hand and pressing His cheek to Her cheek. On the icons of the Mother of God of Eleusa there is no distance between Mary and God the Son, their love is limitless. The icon prefigures the sacrifice of Christ the Savior on the cross as the highest expression of God’s love for people. In Greek art, this iconographic type was more often called Glycophilus in Greek. Γλυκοφιλούσα - sweetly loving, which is sometimes translated as Sweet Kiss or Sweet Kiss.

In particular, one of the main shrines of the Diveyevo monastery is the icon “Tenderness” - on it the Mother of God is depicted without a baby.
The icon was the main shrine of the Trinity Cathedral of the monastery; Seraphim of Sarov prayed and died in front of it, which is why it is also called “Seraphim’s Tenderness.” He called it “Joy of All Joys,” and anointed the sick with oil from the lamp that burned in front of the icon. According to his behest, after his death, the image was transferred by the Sarov abbot Nifont to the Mill community. After the monastery was closed, Abbess Alexandra Trakovskaya and her sister took the icon to Murom.

Pray, merciful Mother, Your Son and our God, the sweetest Lord Jesus Christ, may he preserve our country in peace, may he establish our state in prosperity and may he deliver us from internecine warfare, may he strengthen our Orthodox Church and preserve it unshakably from unbelief and schism , and heresies. For we are not imams of any other help than to You, Most Pure Virgin. You are an omnipotent intercessor for Christians before God, softening His righteous anger. Deliver all those who pray to You from the falls of sin, from the slander of evil people, from hunger, from sorrow. Grant us the spirit of contrition, humility of heart, purity of thoughts, correction of our sins, so that we may all gratefully sing of Your greatness, let us be worthy of the Heavenly Kingdom, and there with all the saints we will glorify the most honorable and magnificent name in the Trinity of the One God - the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
