Four Athonite icons of the Mother of God were brought to the Şerban Vodă Parish in the Capitaltranslated

Four copies of miracle-working icons of the Mother of God from Holy Mount Athos were brought this summer to the Şerban Vodă Parish in the Capital.

Bringing the Athonite icons offers the faithful from Bucharest and other localities an opportunity to pray, worship and honor the Mother of God.

"For women who cannot go to the Holy Mountain, the presence of these icons in the church also represents a living connection with the Athonite spirit and tradition", emphasized the parish priest Adrian Chiriță.

Where are the icons in the Holy Mountain? Children of the icons of the Mother of God were brought from Holy Mount Athos to Şerban Vodă Parish.

According to tradition, the icon of the Mother of God "Portărița" from the Iviron Monastery is placed in the chapel at the gate of the monastery, which is where its name comes from.
