Icon of the Mother of God Enthroned
Kolomskoye, Russia (1917)
The “Enthroned” (or “Reigning”) Icon of the Mother of God appeared on March 15, 1917 (March 2 on the old Orthodox calendar), the day of Tsar Nicholas's abdication, in the village of Kolomskoye near Moscow.
In February 1917, an elderly woman named Eudokia saw the Mother of God in a dream telling her to go to Kolomskoye to find a large blackened icon in a church.
After the vision was repeated three times, she went there to search for the icon. In the basement of the church covered in dust the icon of Panachranta (seated) type was revealed and news of the icon’s discovery spread throughout Russia, and there were several healing miracles.
