Legend

Here the icon of the Virgin Mary - Prodromita, which currently is Mount Athos, was painted. The legend says it was miraculously painted in 1863. Thus it is that the founders have hired a old painter to achieve an image that was to be made Prodomu gift hermitage. The old man painted the icon in fasting and prayer but could not paint the face of Virgin Mary. He covered the painting with a cloth and went to pray. When he returned he saw that the painting was completed.
