The most famous and most revered miraculus icon of the Theotokos which
the Holy Mountain possesse was, in the 9th century in the reign of
Theophilus the Eikonomachos (Iconoclast), the personal property of a
devout widow from Nicaea in Asia Minor, who kept it and honoured it in
her private chapel. The Emperor\'s men who got to hear of this decided
not to carry out immediately the order about icons, but to start by
trying to blackmail its rich owner. In the time which they gave her to
collect the money they demanded, the widow took the icon and her dearly
loved son and, after fervent prayer, took it to the sea and left it on
the surface of the waves, so that it should not be defied by the
iconolasts. The icon stood upright on the water and began to head
towards the west, while the widow\'s son, following her advice, also
fled towards the west to escape persecution. Later he became a monk and
died on the north-east coast of Athos near or in the Monastery of
Clement, and so the anchorites round about heard from him the story of
the icon.
