History of the Tabynskaya Mother of God
The image is miraculous and first appeared to the monk Ambrose, who was walking near two springs near the village of Tabynskaya. A miraculous voice appeared to this hierodeacon, but he at first mistook it for a temptation. Then the voice was repeated, and Ambrose went to look and saw the Tabyn icon on a stone between a fresh and salt spring.
The monk brought the found icon to the monastery, where it was joyfully placed in the church for veneration. In the morning the image ended up on the monastery gates, the monks took it back, but the next day the situation repeated itself. As a result, it was necessary to build a chapel right there in order to offer prayers to the Tabynskaya icon, about which both the sovereign and representatives of the church later learned.
In this regard, the icon was taken to Kazan and Ufa, where it was revered in every possible way, but in the end the church in Kazan burned down, and the icon returned back to Tabynskaya, where it miraculously appeared at the beginning of the 16th century. Then there was the Bashkir uprising in 1660, when the image disappeared again, and about thirty years later the icon appeared again.
These appearances and disappearances are associated with a stay in the Solovarny village, which was located near the source where the icon was first found. Then this village was destroyed, the icon was lost in 1708 and found again in 1740, this should be emphasized, since the story is connected with miracles.
Then the icon was found by three Bashkir shepherds who belonged to a different faith, they split the icon and after that they immediately went blind. The shepherds began to pray to the icon for healing, and the youngest cried out with special faith, thanks to which he was able to be healed and began to wash the eyes of his companions with water from a salt spring. They, too, eventually regained their sight, and the source became holy.
That young Bashkir shepherd found faith and became an Orthodox ascetic precisely thanks to the icon. He lived to be 130 years old and passed away while walking in a religious procession through the city of Chelyabinsk, there is evidence of this.
From the time of this discovery, the tradition of religious processions with the icon begins. Photographs and written evidence of this have still been preserved. Icon Day is celebrated on the ninth Friday after Easter and is often associated with various miracles given by the Mother of God.
At this time, the icon is considered lost.
During the period of Soviet power, Ataman Dutov transported the icon to China, after the 1950s the trace was completely lost and now one can only guess where this shrine of the Ural region is located. There is information about the movement of the shrine to Australia and San Francisco.
Meaning in Orthodoxy
The Mother of God on icons like Hodegetria bows her head before her Son and points to the Infant Jesus - Savior and Teacher. The history of the Orthodox Church knows many examples of the miraculous discovery of great icons at a time when the support of the heavenly intercessor of Russia was vitally necessary.
The image was obtained during exploration of the Urals and Siberia. The first Orthodox Christians went east, settling in new lands. The appearance of the Tabyn miracle was perceived as a benefit for the establishment of Orthodoxy and the spread of the Christian faith brought by the Russians.
The Tabyn icon strengthened the faith of the Orthodox; even the unbaptized spoke of miracles; the fame of the image quickly spread, reaching the capital. Thanks to prayers before the icon, many miracles occurred; the image of the Mother of God disappeared for a while from the sight of believers, then appeared triumphant, bestowing new mercies.
Processions with an icon
Recently, the tradition of religious processions with icons has been revived again in the Orenburg diocese. In addition, there is now a continuous procession of the cross, which moves with representatives of the Cossack army to different countries and regions. As part of this project, the icon was raised to the holy Mount Athos in 2013.
The significance of this image is more than significant for all of Orthodoxy. There are few shrines that have shown various miracles so many times.
Above are only the main milestones and a superficial description of the history of the icon, which in fact is much more intricate and fascinating.
In order to be imbued with faith and touch the miracle, it is enough to attend the service where the akathist to the Tabyn Icon of the Mother of God is read, or simply read the prayers before it yourself.
