History
In Greece, in the Peloponnese, is the monastery of Mega Spileon (in translation - the Great Cave). Pilgrims strive here to worship the miraculous image of the Mother of God, created, according to tradition, by the apostle and... evangelist Luke and called "Right-handed." The name is explained by the fact that, in the image of the Mother of God, she holds the God-child on her right hand, while in the district there were more common images where the Infant sits on the left hand of the Mother of God.
It is believed that the relief icon was the first icon of the Mother of God, which came out from under the hand of the holy Apostle Luke, and that the words of the Virgin Mary were said to her: “Grace of the Born of Me and Me will abide with this image.” In Athens, built a large temple in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "Right-handed", which stores a list (copy) of the prototype.
Another famous image of the Mother of God of the Right-Winger is in the monastery of St. Catherine in Sinai (the third one in the list of icons is the third one).
