The Holy Cincture is the one sacred heirloom that remains from the earthly life of the Theotokos. The icon is made on a particle board with the use of the most advanced imprinting and production techniques. The background is decorated in a way that gives the impression of glossy gilding.
The Cincture of the Theotokos has long been known to Orthodox Christians for its miracles: according to believers, it relieves women of infertility and gives the joy of motherhood. That is why many families without children offer prayers to the Mother of God before this shrine.
The relic has been preserved from the time of the Mother of God's earthly life. According to tradition, She herself wove this belt of camel hair, and after the Assumption, before Her transition to heaven, gave it to the Thomas the Apostle.
What do we pray for in front of The Cincture of the Theotokos?
- Healing of infertility;
- Deliverance from problems during pregnancy and childbirth;
- Giving birth to a healthy child;
- Healing from various diseases, including cancer.
