News: Litany with Holy Icon of the monastery

[/userfiles/files/DSC_1138.JPG]

           The second day of Easter is the day of the pilgrimage journey of the miraculous icon of the Holy Mother of God from the Bachkovo Monastery, which it has been traveled every year for more than four hundred years to the place of its hiding, survival and finding in the early 17th century. The icon slowly passes the narrow mountain road to Saint Kluvia, the place where it was hidden carried on the shoulders of dedicated and frequented believers, some of whom come from across the border in order to fulfill the vow of service of St. Bogoroditsa and accompanied by the abbot of the monastery, the brothers of the cloister and thousands of Orthodox Christians,. Throughout the road, a church choir fulfills the mountain with its chants in the glory to the Mother of Christ. The abbot celebrates mass in the small chapel in the locality. Monks give out boiled mutton to the believers. Many wash them in the blessed waters of the holy spring, and all pass through the small cave hidden in the rocks, where the miraculous image has been spent more than a century.
 
            The Icon returned back to the monastery at 5’30 p.m.
