The "Akafistnaya / Akathist" Icon of the Mother of God Commemorated on January 12 The "Akafistnaya / Akathist" Icon of the Mother of God is located in the Khilendaria cathedral iconostasis. It received the designation "Akathist" because, during a fire at the cathedral in 1837 an akathist was read before it, and it remained unharmed – to the solace of the monks. © 1996-2001 by translator Fr.
