The
Smolenskaya Icon of the Mother of God
, called
“Hodegetria”
, which means
“Guide,”
according to Church tradition, was painted
by the Holy Evangelist Luke
during the earthly life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. From Antioch, the shrine was transferred to Jerusalem, and from there the Empress Eudokia, the wife of Arkady, transferred it to Constantinople Pulcheria,
the sister of the emperor, who placed the holy icon in the Blachernae church.
The Greek emperor Konstantin IX Monomakh (1042–1054), passing off his daughter Anna in 1046 as Prince Vsevolod Yaroslavich, son of Yaroslav the Wise, blessed her with this icon. After the death of Prince Vsevolod, the icon passed to his son Vladimir Monomakh, who transferred it to the Smolensk Cathedral Church in honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the beginning of the 12th century. Since that time, the icon was called Hodegetria of Smolensk. The Holy Icon of the Mother of God of Hodegetria is one of the main shrines of the Russian Church. Believers have received and are receiving abundant, gracious help from her. The Mother of God, through His holy image, steps up and strengthens us, traveling to salvation, and we appeal to Her: “You are faithful people - All-blessed Hodegetria, You are Smolenskaya Praise and all the lands of Russia - affirmation!
Rejoice, Hodegetria, Christian salvation!”
