The icon of the Mother of God 'Koukouzelissa' at the Great Lavra

The post presents the icon of the Mother of God known as 'Koukouzelissa' (Cucuzelița), kept at the Great Lavra monastery on Mount Athos. The accompanying images show the icon in detail, including its inscriptions. Around the figures the Greek text reads 'MP ΘY' (Meter Theou, Mother of God) and 'NI', while below appears the prayer 'Θεοτόκε βοήθει τω δούλω σου Ιωάννη τω Παπαδόπουλω', 'Mother of God, help your servant John the Papadopoulos'.

The name Koukouzelissa connects the icon with the tradition of St. John Koukouzelis, the famous Athonite cantor, to whom the icon is associated in Athonite memory. The post offers the icon itself for veneration and viewing, with no further discussion in the thread.
