"Sovereign" icon of the Mother of God in what helps? What are the icons prayed for?

Someone will say that ordinary people should pray before the icons that help in solving simple domestic problems, and the "Sovereign" icon of the Mother of God helps, few know. It is believed that this image is intended for those who are clothed with state power, they say, you can turn to this icon, only asking for support for the rulers of the country. However, this is not quite true.

Excruciating questions

In the light of modern events, when the world seems so fragile when state borders do not protect the rich Russian lands from the greedy eyes of foreigners, when hundreds of thousands of people are being destroyed to meet the geopolitical demands of the ruling world elite when people indifferent to the destinies of nursing Their people, I want to exclaim: "Is it really true, does it really have to be so, is there really no force capable of resisting evil and injustice ?!" Perhaps the Lord turned away from Russia? Is there an answer to this question?

A simple coincidence or a sign?

In 1917, on March 2, in the village of Kolomenskoye, which is now a part of the city line of Moscow, the icon of the Mother of God was miraculously found, on which the Virgin Mary holds the symbols of state power. It is interesting that on the same day there was another event that reversed the destiny of our country - Emperor Nicholas II abdicated from the mission entrusted to him to rule the country, as a person anointed for such a service by the Lord God Himself. However, the Heavenly Father did not abandon the country and its disadvantaged people to the mercy of fate. A miracle happened, giving the whole of Russia the hope of salvation. At the time of the abdication, God stood invisibly beside Nicholas and took from him a scepter and power to pass on to The One who will never renounce them, but in due time will give to the worthy. How else can you explain the miracle of the appearance of the icon of the Queen of Heaven in the vestment of the tsarina earthly, sitting on the throne with symbols of supreme authority over the country in her hands and with the God-given on her knees, blessing all who come to Him?

His opinion on the supreme authority the Lord reported through a simple peasant woman

It is interesting that a woman who told about the place where the icon lies, saw dreams in which the Heavenly Powers and pointed it to him. It turns out that the Lord foresaw the impending renunciation. Or maybe the Cathedral oath given by the representatives of all lands and estates in 1613 to the family of the Romanovs was abolished in 1917? We can only guess and look for the hidden meaning of the event. The "Sovereign" icon of the Mother of God does not answer who is to blame for the calamities of the people and for the seizure of power by atheists. Hence, we do not need to know the answer. After looking for it, we are looking for the guilty. And we are commanded: "Do not judge, and you will not be judged." By the blessing and the conciliar prayer of Patriarch Alexy II the Orthodox citizens of Russia brought repentance for not having preserved the monarchy, that they let the violation and non-observance of the Sobornaya oath, pronounced and sealed by signatures before the first Romanov - sixteen-year-old Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov-Yuryev - 300 years ago.

Is it a coincidence or a new sign?

In the city of Yekaterinburg, where the royal family was shot, in memory of this event the monastery of Holy Royal Passion-Bearers was founded . At the beginning of the two thousandths on the territory of the monastery the temple of the Virgin was built. The altar icon, in honor of which it was illuminated, is, as you understand, the "Sovereign" icon of the Mother of God. The meaning of the event is difficult to interpret in two ways. Symbolism no one disputed then and does not challenge now. Tsar-martyr, renounced the throne, and took from him the attributes of power "The Sovereign" icon of the Mother of God. The significance of what happened after, still to be understood: in 2010, not standing and four years, the church burned down.

God Keeps Russia

There is an opinion that the last Romanovs no longer had Russian blood, and their close relations with the monarchies of other countries, always having claims to Russia, threatened our country with the loss of independence that the former kings achieved, expanding their borders and providing commercial sea communications. We were threatened with the fate of a cash cow, which would feed Europe. The long-suffering and merciful Lord did not allow this. The guarantee of His care and favor to Russia was the "Sovereign" icon of the Mother of God. What helps the image, it is not difficult to guess. He is prayed for the preservation of the integrity of the state during the dangers associated with the risk of territorial disintegration of the country. When leaving to serve in the army, you need to come to the temple and ask for blessings from the holy image. If the mother gives her son, who is going to guard the border, the camp with this icon, then the Blessed Virgin gives him a victory in the battle, if that happens, and he will return home unharmed.

It would be nice to have the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos "Derzhavnaya" hung in the offices of government officials. And before taking decisions, they would overshadow themselves with the sign of the cross, turning their gaze and thoughts to the Holy Face.

When will the new heyday of Russia begin?

On the eve of the nation-wide orphanage, the "Sovereign" icon of the Mother of God was revealed to us. What do the orphans pray to God for? They turn to Him in all their needs and sorrows.

Legend argues that prosperity in Russia will come when the miraculous "Derzhavnaya" icon of the Mother of God returns to its place . The prayer that we read before this image, let it contain this request. And what should be considered the place where the icon should return and why is it still not there? To understand this, we need to get acquainted with its history in more detail.

The miracle of finding icons

On February 13, 1917, a certain woman (even her name - Evdokia Andrianova was preserved) dreamed a dream. And I must say that on the eve, on the 12th, there was a big celebration in honor of the deeply revered image of the Virgin Mary, called "Iversky". The eschatological meaning of the Iberian icon of the Mother of God, mysteriously connected with the ultimate destinies of the world, is known to clerics. So, on the night after the holiday Evdokia dreamed that they were asking her to find a black icon in Kolomenskoye village, paint it in red and pray before the found way. The devout woman prayed diligently to God, asking for guidance on the true path and teaching him to fulfill His holy will, and also to get rid of the wiles of the devil, if it was from him that she received a vision.

On February 26, a new dream was dreamed of her, where the Majestic Woman appeared before her and felt to Himself the Most Pure Virgin in Her Eudokia. Unable to continue to speculate and keep secret his dreams, Yevdokia Andrianova went to Kolomenskoye, since it was not too far off. She found there the Church of the Ascension and proceeded to the abbot with her troubles and doubts. The good father listened to her, showed the iconostasis, but none of the icons looked like the one the woman had seen in a dream. Then it was decided to look in the back rooms. And in the basement found the same thing. The image was covered with dust and cobwebs, but it was exactly the icon that the woman saw in a dream.

Thus, for the first time, an intercessor of the Russian land was found - the "Sovereign" icon of the Mother of God. The prayer of a simple village woman about instructing on the true path was realized in this way. Verily, the ways of the Lord are inscrutable.

What needs does the Mother of God "The Power" help?

The news of the icon of the Virgin, who took over the sovereign power over the country, quickly scattered around the neighborhood and reached both capitals. The image began to be transported to different parishes, people lined up to see what the "Sovereign" icon of the Mother of God looks like. Prayer before Her helped many to heal illnesses, arrange a personal life and help with material difficulties. The Queen of Heaven, like her own mother, helps in all troubles. You just need to approach her, tell about yourself. With craft, wisdom and power, everything will suit and all will be comforted by the "Sovereign" icon of the Mother of God. What does this Image help people who are baptized in the Name of Her Divine Son? Judge for yourself. After the loss of the king, the people clung to the Heavenly Mother. Her face is strict and powerful. She sits on the earthly throne, which confirms her acceptance of the earthly, temporal power over the country. Worldly power is worldly affairs, worldly concerns and worldly problems.

The disappearance of the icon

Soon after the acquisition, the icon was restored, with the participation of Patriarch Tikhon, an akathist was composed in honor of her, the service and the canon were compiled. In the following years, when the persecution of believers began, and the churches began to desolate and desecrate, the icon disappeared. But it was not lost without a trace. The first icon "The Sovereign Mother of God", a photograph of which was placed at the beginning of the article, was secretly kept in the reserves of the State Historical Museum for many years.

The second finding

The second time it was found right after the first Liturgy for the royal martyrs, that is, 72 years after the Ekaterinburg massacre. The staff of the Historical Museum passed it to the Orthodox Church.

You can not understand politics, do not know deeply the history, but only love and respect your homeland, honor God, His Most Blessed Mother and saints, and then the heart will tell you to whom the "Sovereign" icon of the Mother of God helps.

According to legend, prosperity will begin in Russia after the icon returns to the place of its acquisition, that is, the Ascension Church of Kolomenskoye. Now she is in the temple of Kazan Mother of God, also located in Kolomna, and the Ascension Church is still closed. At least in 2012 it was so.
