L'icône de la Mère de Dieu "QUI VERSE DES LARMES", icône de Notre-Dame de Tikhvine vénérée au skite du Prophète-Elie au Mont Athos. (Canon paraclitique traduit en français par le père Denis Guillaume au tome XIII du Supplément aux Ménées.)
The
Weeping Tikhvin Icon of Mt. Athos is to be found behind the altar in
the Prophet Elias Skete. On February 17, 1877 (Thursday of the Second
Week of Lent) seven monks remained in the church after the Hours had
been read. They were astonished to see tears flowing from the right eye
of the icon, and collecting on the frame. Then a single large tear came
from the left eye.
The monks wiped the tears from the icon's face, then left the church and locked the doors behind them. Three hours later, they returned for Vespers and saw traces of tears on the icon, and a single tear in the left eye. Again they wiped the tears from the icon, but they did not reappear.
Regarding this manifestation of tears as a sign of mercy from the Mother of God, the monks established an annual commemoration of the icon on February 17. The weeping Tikhvin Icon of Mt. Athos is not to be confused with the original wonderworking Tikhvin Icon (June 26).
