Holiday May 5: Today honor St. Irina and the icon "Unsupished Bowl"

On May 5, Orthodox Christians honor the martyr Irina of the Macedonian and the miraculous icon of the Mother of God, "The Unshawed Bowl". In the people this day is known as Irina-Randaments-right now they are starting to plant cabbage and cucumbers.

Holidays Irina, in Penelope peace, lived in the first century in Macedonia. She was the daughter of a pagan ruler Licinia, but chose Christianity. Her path to faith was accompanied by visions - a pigeon, an eagle and a crow flew to her window, each of which carried a symbolic message. After the baptism, Irina suffered severe persecution: they tried to kill her, threw it to the pit with snakes, but she survived and inspired people to accept Christianity. According to legend, she disappeared from the cave where she had to die - the bodies were never found.

In addition to Irina, this day is remembered by the icon of the Virgin Mary "The Untreated Bowl". It is considered a powerful protection against alcoholism, drug addiction, gambling and other harmful dependencies. The icon is often the last hope for those who want to save their relatives. Believers pray in front of her for the purification of her soul and strength to combat temptations.

According to the Julian calendar on May 5 (that is, May 18 in the new style), the Reverend Theodore Sykeot and St. Luke are honored.
