Wooden Icon of the Mother of God Tenderness Donskaya (of the Don)
In 1591, the Crimean prince Nuradin and his brother Murat-Girey with a large army invaded Russia, and, approaching Moscow, settled on the Sparrow Hills. To protect against enemies around Moscow, a religious procession was held with the Don Icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary. On the day of the battle, she was in the camp church among the military ranks and put the Tatars to flight. In gratitude to the Most Holy Theotokos for Her mercy, revealed through the Don Icon, in 1592, in the place where she stood among the soldiers, the Donskoy Monastery was founded, in which the miraculous icon was placed and the celebration was established on August 19.
