The Ruling Bishop celebrated the Divine Liturgy on the day of the meeting of the Vladimir Icon of the Most Holy Theotokostranslated

September 8, 2026 · 1 min read

On September 8, the day of the festival in honor of the Vladimir Icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary, established in memory of the salvation of Moscow from the invasion of Tamerlane in 1395, His Eminence Archbishop Savva of Tiraspol and Dubossary celebrated the Divine Liturgy in the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Tiraspol. The clergy of the Vozdvizhensky parish and the Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ concelebrated with His Eminence. On the day of the holiday, believers gathered in the church to offer prayers to the Most Holy Theotokos and honor Her Vladimir Icon - one of the most revered shrines of the Russian Orthodox Church. After the dismissal of the Divine Liturgy, glorification was performed before the list of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God. Archbishop Sava and the clergy sang the magnification of the Queen of Heaven, after which the Ruling Bishop offered a prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos.

Then His Eminence Vladyka addressed those gathered with an archpastoral word, recalling the history of the holiday and the events of 1395, when the Russian land was delivered from the invasion of Tamerlane. The celebration of September 8 (August 26, old style) was established in memory of the bringing of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God from Vladimir to Moscow.…

Dziękuję za relację. Zawsze lubiłam, jak arcybiskup Sawwa przypomina o tamtym 1395 roku i o tym, jak ikona uratowała Moskwę przed Tamerlanem – to konkretna historia, którą warto pamiętać. U nas w Gdańsku też mamy kopię Vladimirskiej, modliliśmy się przy niej w zeszłym tygodniu po liturgii.

Mulțumesc pentru relatare. Îmi place cum Vladyka Savva leagă mereu slujba de anul 1395 și de cum a oprit icoana năvălirea lui Tamerlan, e o lecție clară. La noi în Iași, la biserica Sf. Trei Ierarhi, avem și noi o copie mai mică a Vladimirskoi și o scoatem la procesiune în fiecare an pe 8 septembrie.

Tak, ta historia z 1395 roku zawsze do mnie trafia, bo pokazuje, że ikona naprawdę działa w konkretnych momentach, a nie tylko w opowieściach. U nas w Hajnówce też mamy kopię i co roku w chórze śpiewamy jej wieliczanie po liturgii. A jak tam w Gdańsku, Michał, wasza kopia stoi w jakimś konkretnym kościele czy w domu parafialnym?

Ja, die Geschichte von 1395 mit Tamerlan ist wirklich das, was hängen bleibt. Bei uns in Hamburg haben wir im Kirchenchor letztes Jahr auch das величание zur Vladimirskaja gesungen, danach hat der Priester kurz von der Moskauer Rettung erzählt. Schön, dass Vladyka Savva das immer wieder erwähnt, damit es nicht nur eine alte Ikone bleibt.

Tak, ta historia z 1395 roku zawsze mi się przypomina, bo to nie jakieś legendy, tylko konkretne wydarzenie, które odmieniło losy miasta. U nas w Lublinie kopia wisi w bocznej nawie cerkwi i co roku po liturgii stawiamy przed nią świeczki z dziećmi. A Michał, co u was w Gdańsku, ta kopia jest w drewnianej ramie czy w takiej metalowej, ozdobnej?
