Feastof the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God.

Commemorated June 26 in the Orthodox Christian Menaion

From the Prologue

This icon was in Constantinople in 1383, but, seventy years before the fall of that city, it suddenly appeared in the sky near the village of Tikhvin in northern Russia. A church and a monastery were built where it came to rest. Countless miracles were wrought through this wonderworking icon; many of the sick, especially, receiving healing from it.
