Sovereign Icon of the Mother of God
The Mother of God revealed this image of Her to the Russian Orthodox people on March 2 (15), 1917, on the day of the abdication of the passion-bearer Tsar Nikolai Alexandrovich. A resident of the Pererv settlement, the peasant Evdokia Adrianova, had two dreams: the first on February 13th and the second on February 26th. On February 13th, there was a voice in a dream: “There is a large black icon in the village of Kolomenskoye. You need to take it, turn it red, and let them pray.” The pious woman began to pray for clearer instructions and two weeks later, on February 26, as if in response to a fervent prayer, Adrianova dreams of a white church, and in it sits a Woman majestically, in whom Adrianova recognizes and feels the Queen of Heaven with her heart, although he does not see Her holy face. Evdokia went to Kolomenskoye and immediately recognized the Church of the Ascension seen in a dream. In the basement, among old boards, various rags and junk, in the dust, a large narrow old black icon was found. When the icon, blackened by age, was washed, an image of the Mother of God seated on a throne with the Child of God was revealed. The Queen of Heaven was written with signs royal power: in red purple, with a crown on his head and a scepter and orb in his hands - hence the name “Sovereign”. According to the deep conviction of believers and monarchists, Russia is currently under the direct control of the Mother of God after the abdication of the imperial throne by the emperor...

Finding an icon
A peasant from the settlement of Pererva, Bronnitsky district, Evdokia Adrianova, began to see in her dreams a white church with a repeated demand to find a black icon and make it red. The peasant woman told the rector of the Ascension Church in Kolomenskoye about her dreams. After a long search, a large icon, blackened by time, was found in the basement of the church. On the board appeared the image of Christ on the knees of the Virgin Mary, in the hands of the Virgin Mary - royal regalia, scepter and orb. In his report to the Synod regarding this incident, Metropolitan Tikhon (Bellavin), in particular, wrote about the icon: “According to information given by a Member of the Commission from the Church-Archaeological Department of the Moscow Society of Amateurs Spiritual Enlightenment- Archpriest Strakhov: the icon is not ancient, approximately the end. XVIII century (not older), iconostasis in shape (oval at the top), middle, from the third belt (prophetic). In terms of the way it is written, the icon belongs to the type of Constantinople icons of the Mother of God. The icon probably remained from the iconostasis that was from the Ascension Church earlier than the current one (and the famous archaeologist I. Snegirev reports about this iconostasis that it was at one time moved from one of the churches of the Moscow Ascension Monastery).” Soon after its discovery, the icon was renewed in the workshops of the Moscow Alekseevsky Monastery.
On the same day, March 2, 1917 (15th New Style), Emperor Nicholas II of Russia was forced to sign an abdication from the throne in favor of his brother, Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich (shot by the Bolsheviks in Perm in June 1918).
The icon became the subject of spontaneous veneration in the area around the village of Kolomenskoye. Soon, almost every church had a list of the “Sovereign”, and a service and akathist to the icon were prepared. Patriarch Tikhon took part in their compilation.
IN Soviet time the icon was kept in storage Historical Museum.

Often the construction of churches is preceded by unusual phenomena, which are impossible to comprehend with the mind. Sovereign Icon of the Mother of God in Chertanovo- one of these buildings with amazing story.
One of the local residents several times observed an unusual blue glow in the area of the intersection of Sumsky Proezd and st. Chertanovskaya. This prompted her to organize a religious community (in 1992), and after some time the authorities allocated a site for the construction of a temple. Of the several places proposed for this, they chose, of course, the one where the unusual light appeared.

Construction began a few years later, and now, in 1997, a wooden church-chapel was built and consecrated. It is not by chance that it is named in honor of the Sovereign Icon of the Mother of God. It was this image that appeared to one of the parishioners near Kolomenskoye in 1917, on the day when Nicholas II abdicated the throne.
In a dream, Evdokia heard a voice that told her about a large black icon in the village of Kolomenskoye, which needed to be taken and made red. Afterwards, the peasant woman had another dream with a white church and a woman sitting majestically in it. The peasant woman decided that such accidents did not happen, and went to Voznesenskaya in Kolomenskoye.
Together with the abbot of the monastery, they found the desired icon. She was in the basement, among old boards under a thick layer of dust and really seemed black. When the shrine was washed, the image appeared before all those present in all its glory - the Mother of God with a scepter and orb in her hands and with a crown on her head. She was dressed in red royal purple, and held a baby on her lap.

These are the wonderful stories associated with Temple of the Sovereign Icon of the Mother of God in Chertanovo. By the way, there was already a small one in this area, although there is no documentary evidence of this.
With all this, it very soon became clear that the erected Temple of the Sovereign Icon of the Mother of God cannot accommodate all parishioners. Therefore, in the fall of 2001, construction began on a new, two-story temple building, which was officially completed in 2013.
During this time, the project changed, and as a result we can see a beautiful three-aisle temple with five chapters. Architectural elements different heights, the combination of slender tents and massive low domes, straight and curved lines creates a magnificent harmonious composition. The building accommodates about one and a half thousand people and is one of the most spacious churches in Moscow.
The sovereign icon of the Mother of God is iconographic image Mother of God with an amazing story. We will tell you everything about the creation of the icon, where its original is kept and where you can venerate the revered lists of the Sovereign Icon of the Mother of God.
Sovereign icon of the Mother of God. Original
The veneration of the image depicted on the icon of the Mother of God Sovereign is associated with modern period Russian history. The legend about the icon is well known: a resident of the settlement of Pererva, Bronnitsky district, Evdokia Adrianova, saw a white church several times in her dreams and heard a demand to find a black icon and make it red. On March 2 (15 BC), 1917, in the basement of the Church of the Ascension in the village of Kolomenskoye, a large icon of the Mother of God, blackened by time, was found: the Infant Christ sits on Her knees, in the hands of the Most Pure One are the royal regalia, a scepter and an orb. On the same day, Sovereign Nikolai Alexandrovich, Emperor Russian Empire, signed an abdication of the throne for himself and his son Tsarevich Alexei in favor of his brother, Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich (later shot by the Bolsheviks).
The residents of Kolomenskoye and the surrounding area immediately began to venerate the Icon of the Mother of God Sovereign. To this day, according to many Orthodox Christians, after the abdication of the monarch, the Mother of God herself preserves the symbols of royal power, and with them Russia itself. The holy Patriarch Tikhon took part in compiling the service and akathist for the icon.
The image on the icon of the Mother of God Sovereign belongs to the canon of “Constantinople” icons, painted, apparently, at the end of the 18th century. The icon was updated in the workshops of the Moscow Alekseevsky Monastery - the vestments of the Virgin Mary are written in red.
In Soviet times, the icon of the Mother of God Sovereign was kept in the storerooms of the Historical Museum; in 1990 it was returned to the Church - now the original image is in the Kazan Church in Kolomenskoye. But it’s not only there that you can venerate the revered lists.
In the Church of the Ascension of the Lord on the Pea Field (Radio Street, building 2), in addition to many other shrines, there is a list of the icon of the Sovereign Mother of God. The image of the holy passion-bearer Tsar Nicholas, which flowed myrrh abundantly in the late 90s, also resides here.
In the main temple of the Assumption Deanery of the city of Moscow, the Church of the Assumption of the Mother of God in Trinity-Lykovo, there are several revered images Holy Mother of God, and among them is the “Sovereign” icon of the Mother of God.
The Assumption Church itself, damaged in the 30s, was restored the second time - back in 1935, the church was included by the League of Nations in the list of outstanding monuments of world architecture. In 1970, the building began to be restored, but funding was suspended, and restoration of the temple was resumed only in the early 2000s.
At the Moscow courtyard of the Solovetsky Monastery, in the Church of the Great Martyr George the Victorious (Nativity of the Virgin Mary) in Endov, the “Sovereign” icon of the Mother of God is especially revered - after all, Solovki became the Russian Golgotha, the path to which began on March 2 (15) with the abdication of the Emperor - the fall of the traditional Russian statehood.

Since 1995, there has been a temple-chapel of the Sovereign Icon of the Mother of God in Moscow. It was from him that the restoration of the main cathedral of the country began - the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, next to which this small wooden church stands. In front of the revered list of “Derzhavnaya” located in it, an akathist is read twice a week: on Wednesdays at 17.00 and on Sundays at 14.00.
In the Church of Elijah the Prophet, adjacent to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, on 2nd Obydensky Lane, there is a revered copy of the “Sovereign” icon of the Mother of God, painted in the early 1920s by the artist Nikolai Chernyshev. Soon after this, Nikolai Chernyshev was arrested and died for his faith in December 1924.
