As a general rule, icons strictly followed models and formulas hallowed by Byzantine art, led from the capital in Constantinople. As time passed, the Russians widened the vocabulary of types and styles far beyond anything found elsewhere in the Orthodox world. The personal, innovative and creative traditions of Western European religious art were largely lacking in Russia before the 17th century when Russian icon painting became strongly influenced by religious paintings and engravings from both Protestant and Catholic Europe. In the mid-17th-century changes in liturgy and practice instituted by Patriarch Nikon resulted in a split in the Russian Orthodox Church. The traditionalists, the persecuted "Old Ritualists" or "Old Believers", continued the traditional stylization of icons, while the State Church modified its practice. From that time icons began to be painted not only in the traditional stylized and non-realistic mode, but also in a mixture of Russian stylization and Western European realism, and in a Western European manner very much like that of Catholic religious art of the time. These types of icons, while finding in Russian Orthodox churches, are also sometimes found in various sui juris rites of the Catholic Church. Icons considered miraculous were said to "appear." The "appearance" of an icon is its supposedly miraculous discovery. "A true icon is one that has 'appeared', a gift from above, one opening the way to the Prototype and able to perform miracles". DESCRIPTION: The Inexhaustible Cup Virgin Mary Christ Icon Religious Round Christmas Ornament - Not Breakable 4 3/4 Inch - Comes With Ribbon to Hang Made of hardened plastic Made In The Ukraine. Looks beautiful Virgin, the Inexhaustible Cup Patroness of Alcoholics A peasant from the Efremovskii district of Tula province, was a retired soldier a drunkard and an alcoholic. The man having hit rock-bottom had paralysis and could not walk. A Holy Man appeared to him in a dream and told him to go to the Monastery of Our Lady Queen of Heaven in Serpukhov, where you will find an icon of Our Lady of the Inexhaustible Cup. He had no money and no one to help him go to the Monastery. The Holy Man again appeared to him two other times commanding him to craw on all fours. He followed the Holy Man’s bidding. On his way a kind lady sheltered him and messaged his legs. After this, he could continue his journey with the help of others. When he told them at the Monastery of his dream, no one knew of this icon. He insisted and it was suggested there was an icon of the Virgin seated in a cup hanging in the hallway from the vestry to the cathedral. No one knew how the Cathedral had this icon. To their surprise, they found the inscription “Our Lady of the Inexhaustible Cup” on the verso of the icon. They immediately celebrated a service supplicating the Virgin to intercede for the man who was cured of illnesses and freed from his passion for alcohol. The news of this miracle spread throughout Russia and people sought the aid of the Virgin for themselves and their loved ones suffering from alcoholism. Many copies of the icon were made throughout Russia. Many of these icons became miracle-working icons. One of these icons is at the Danielov Monastery (the home of the Russian Patriarch) in Moscow. The icon itself is an ancient form of the “Orante” (also known as “Orans”) Virgin in the gesture of “Praying.” The use of the chalice reflects on Christ in the mystery of the Eucharist. Christ is the lamb that “is forever eaten yet never consumed.” The Virgin in her role in the Incarnation feeds humanity with Heavenly Bread. The Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council decreed singing “Your Womb became a Heavenly Table, bearing Holy Bread – Christ our God.” Today the Virgin is supplicated for those suffering (including the addict and or those who love, interact or are affected by them) from alcoholism and drug addiction. The Virgin as manifested through the Icon of the Inexhaustible Cup has gained acceptance throughout the Orthodox world and in the United States. Some alcohol support groups use this icon. Through the Mother of God spiritual joy, consolation, help and charity is waiting for those in need!
