"Tsaregrad" Icon of the Mother of God

Commemorated on April 25, September 17

      The Celebration of the Tsaregrad Icon of the Mother of God on 25 April is done in honour of a locally venerated icon, situated at Moscow at the Uspenie church on Malaya Dimitrovka. The depiction of this image is distinct from that of the Tsaregrad Icon of the Most Holy Mother of God celebrated on 17 September, although it appears to be a copy from it. (The wonderworking Tsaregrad Icon appeared in the year 1071, on 25 April).
