Theotokos Samarska

Theotokos Samarska

"Theotokos of Novi Kodaky" or "Theotokos Samarska" ( _uk. Самарська ікона Пресвятої Богородиці) is a Christian Orthodox icon that has been venerated by the Zaporozhian Cossacks of the Dnieper Ukraine on April 24.

The icon appeared in the village of Novi Kodaky, 7 versts north-west of Yekaterinoslav, at some point in the 18th century. [ [http://www.pravoslavie.cz/ikony/Novokajdakskaja%20(Samarskaja).htm History of the Novokaidakskaya icon] ] Its origin is believed to lie in the Orient. By the mid-1760s, the icon, then kept in the local church of St. Nicholas, attracted crowds of pilgrims, including high-placed officers and generals.
