The icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, Light-painted Image of the Mother of God is painted in the icon-painting studio of St. Elisabeth Convent.

The Light-Written Image of the Most Holy Theotokos has been venerated on Mount Athos and throughout Holy Rus’ for over a century. Its name alludes to the Greek φωτογραφία (photographia), literally “light-writing.” The first icon was written after a photograph was developed in which the Mother of God appeared mysteriously.

The Athonite account relates that, in 1903, a monk of the Holy Great-Martyr Panteleimon Monastery photographed the distribution of alms to the poor. When the film was developed, the image of the All-Pure Virgin was seen among the poor, humbly receiving bread.

One monk of the Holy Great-Martyr Panteleimon Monastery photographed the distribution of alms to the poor. When the film was developed, the image of the All-Pure Virgin was seen among the poor, humbly receiving bread. The icon faithfully reflects this event.

It is evidence of the Mother of God fulfilling the oath she gave to protect her earthly lot, the Holy Mountain.

The feast day: September 3.
