The Moldovan Metropolitan Church of Chisinau and all Moldova has announced that the faithful will be able to see an icon with the image of Virgin Mary called “Arsaniotisa”, which is a copy of the icon from Mount Athos, at the Metropolitan Cathedral “God’s Birth” in Chisinau from March 10.
Contacted by IPN, eparchial secretary of the Moldova Metropolitan Church Vadim Cheibas said the miracle-working icon was brought to Chisinau by a priest from the Moscow monastery where it is kept.
“Arsaniotisa” means containing the storms of life. The Mother of Jesus is the one who helps the faithful to contain their emotions, said the secretary.
The icon will be at the Metropolitan Cathedral for a week.
