What Is Icon of Our Lady Of Jerusalem?

The icon of the Virgin Mary of Jerusalem, also known as the Panagia Ierosolymitissa, is amongst the most popular icons of the Virgin Mary. The icon can be found in Jerusalem at the area of Gethsemane overlooking the Sepulcher of the Mother of God, also known as the Tomb of the Virgin Mary, and is a holy site visited by Christian pilgrims.

 

Miraculous 19th-century creation

 

The commonly-held story regarding the origins of the Panagia Ierosolymitissa is that it miraculously appeared in the year 1870. This story became popular due to a leaflet released by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem verifying it. According to this story, the Mother of God appeared in the form of a stranger to a certain monastic iconographer by the name of Tatiana who lived at the Russian Convent of Mary Magdalene (on the lower western slope of Jerusalem's Mount of Olives) and commanded her to paint an icon. When Tatiana began the work and came back the next day, the icon was miraculously completed and was suffused with the smell of incense. She informed the abbess, and together they relocated the icon to Gethsemane as the Holy Theotokos had instructed them.
