The Icon of Axion Estin Ἄξιόν ἐστιν a miraculous icon & great treasure on the Holy Mountain of Athos

Описание: The icon of Axion Estin Ἄξιόν ἐστιν or Karyiotissa in Karyes is perhaps the holiest icon on the Holy Mountain of Athos in Greece, the Garden of the Theotokos. Dating back to the 10th century, it is the focus of an extraordinary and miraculous event - in front of this icon the Angel Gabriel dictated a hymn to the Mother of God Ἄξιόν ἐστιν that is an important part of the Eastern Orthodox liturgical tradition to this day. In this video I explore that tradition, examine the icon and discuss the power and importance of icons in the life of the Orthodox Church.
