The
Divnogorsk-Sicilian Icon of the Mother of God received the first part
of its title from where it was enshrined when it was glorified: the
Dormition monastery of Divnogorsk, in the former Ostrogozhsk district in
Voronezh governance. Its title of "Sicilian" comes from its place of
origin, since by tradition this icon at Diva (i.e. "Wondrous Heights")
was brought from Sicily by the pious monastic Elders Xenophon and
Joasaph. They suggest that these saints were Orthodox Greeks by birth,
and that they had arrived there not earlier than the end of the
fifteenth century. Xenophon and Joasaph founded a monastery at a scenic
spot above the River Don, near the confluence of the River Tikha Sosna
[Quiet Pine River]. The place was called Wondrous Heights by those
struck by the form of the chalk columns throughout the hills.
It is said that Xenophon and Joasaph lived in a cave (where later the church of St John the Forerunner was built), and that they carved out the first church in a chalk column, into which also they put the Sicilian Icon of the Mother of God which they had brought with them. Here is where they found their eternal repose.
On the Divnogorsk-Sicilian Icon of the Mother of God, the Theotokos is depicted sitting in the clouds. In Her right hand is a white lily blossom, and with Her left arm She supports the Divine Infant, Who sits upright upon Her knees. The Savior holds a lily blossom in His left hand, and blesses with His right hand. Around the face of the Mother of God are eight angels. The two beneath are shown on bended knee and with hands upraised in prayer. Over the head of the Theotokos is the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove.
The special glorification of the icon began in the year 1831, when cholera was raging. At Korotoyak, 7-8 versts from the monastery, the Most Holy Virgin appeared (as She is depicted in the Divnogorsk Icon) to a certain elderly woman, Ekaterina Kolomenska, in a dream. She commanded that Her icon be brought and a Molieben be served before it. The wonderworking icon was brought to Korotoyak, and after a Molieben before the holy icon, the cholera ceased.
By the intercession of the Mother of God, the city of Ostrogozhsk also was saved from cholera. The people of Korotoyak and Ostrogozhsk were also saved from cholera in 1847 and 1848 through the miraculous intercession of the Mother of God, which occurred after a church procession around these towns with the holy icon.
According to Tradition, the feastday of the wonderworking icon on February 5 was established already at its original habitation by Xenophon and Joasaph.
