Icon is depicting the Miraculous Vision of St. Sergius: One night, Abbot Sergius was reading the rule before the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. Having finished reading the canon of the Mother of God, he sat down to rest, but suddenly told his disciple, the Monk Micah, that a miraculous visit awaited them. In a moment, the whole monk's cell was sanctified with a miraculous light, and the Mother of God Herself appeared, accompanied by the holy Apostles Peter and John the Theologian. Saint Sergius collapsed from the experience of the Heavenly light, but the Most Holy Theotokos touched him with her hands and, blessing, promised to patronize his holy monastery.
