History of the image
As a legend tells, in the days of her earthly life of the Mother of God in the unfair love for people blessed the Holy Apostle and the Evangelist Luka to write its image. Rev. John Damaskin wrote: "The Holy Apostle and the Evangelist of Luka, at the time when the Most Holy Mother of God lived in Jerusalem and dwells in Zion, wrote its divine and honest image on the board with picturesque means, so as in the mirror, contemplated its subsequent generations and childbirth. When Luke introduced her an image, she said: "From now on, all the births are pleased. Grace and the power of the rose from me and my with you will be. " (Tradition attributes to the brushes of the Holy Apostle and the Evangelist Luke from three to seventy icons of the Mother of God, including the Iversky).
The first after that the news of the image refers to the IX century - the time of iconocrust, when, on the order of the emperors-heretics, they were destroyed and crossed the icons and the power of the saints, churches and monasteries were closed.
In Naja, one piety widow named Theodore has kept the precious image of Our Lady. When the warriors broke to the woman to take away the image, then one of them hit the shrine of a spear. Immediately, blood flowed from the face. The warriors were amazed and fled in fear, and the pious widow went to the sea and, praying, let the icon on the waves.
Through two centuries, the statements of the Iverly monastery on Athos saw a fiery pillar on the sea. He rose over the way the Mother of God standing on the water. Brachia diligently prayed and asked the Lord to give the icon of the monastery. Next night Holy Mother of God In a dream, the elder Gabriel Georgina, distinguished by a strict mobility life and childishly a simple temper, and commanded him personally take his icon.
In the next morning, the elder, strengthened by the blessing of the Virgin, daily went on the water and was encountered to take a wonderful shrine. She was put in the chapel on the shore and three days committed a prayer for her, and then moved to cathedral church. However, on the other day, the image was discovered above the monastery gates. He was attributed to the previous place in main churchBut the next day he was again over the gates. So repeated several times. Finally, the Most Holy Virgin was the old man in Gabriel and said: "Tell your brethren: I don't want to guard me, but I myself will be your keeper in this life and in the future. As long as you see my face on the gates of the monastery, the grace and the mercy of my son will not attend you. "
Then the buildings built a garment church in honor of the Lady, the keeper of the monastery, in which the miraculous icon remains to this day. In Greece, portatitis is also called it, which means the goalkeeper.
In the history of the Iversky Monastery, many cases of fertile care of the Mother of God are known: the wonderful replenishment of wheat reserves, wine and lodge, healing of patients, relieving the monastery from enemies. So, one day the Persian seeded the monastery from the sea. Inaks appealed to the Mother of God for help. Suddenly a terrible storm rose, and the enemy ships sank. Alive was alive alone, the commander Amir. The miracle of God struck by the miracle, he repented, asked to pray for the forgiveness of his sins and donated a lot of gold and silver on the construction of monastic walls.

Church of the Iberian Icon of the Mother of God
The temple is located along the Little Iversky Lane between the Small and Big Ords. Previously, on the site of the Iversky Temple, there was a wooden church, George Great Martyr, which is at the fall. The church was standing behind the field, on the most southern outskirts of the city. In the book "Moscow. A detailed historical and archaeological description of the city "reports:" The Church of the Holy Great Martyr George is known since 1625; In 1673, the guest of Semen Potapov was built instead of a wooden stone church; The attacks of John the Warrior and the Iverland of the Mother of God, by whom this church now will hear. "
Other names of the temple - "on the Dwelvanovka", "in the dutover", "at Ordyanka", "at Serpukhovsky Gate", "on the Yar". A rich merchant Semen Potapov has also built the church of Mikhail Arkhangel, which is in sheepniks. Earlier in the temple of the Iversk icon of the Mother of God, there was a zinc cross, as if the historical document confirmed the construction date and the name of benefactor. The churches belonged to a large plot of land with a graveyard and the buildings of the church habitation between the big and small orders, the Iversky lane and did not reach this day a dead end from the northern side of the temple. The first stone church consisted of a meerating, bell tower and four with a three-part apse, which was crowned five-chap.
In 1722, John the Warrior was built. Traditionally, the arrival of the church was the rich nobility families, merchant families were significantly less. By the end of the XVIII century, the building took restructuring. This is what you can read in the book of the Publishing House "Orthodox Taganka", dedicated to the Iverk Church: "1788, June, said Church of the priest Vasily Nikitin with parish people, the church of the Iverskaya Icon of the Mother of God, filed by Metropolitan Platon, requested permission" on the present St. Navy. George Church on the Small Space of 5 chapters to make one with permissions magnificent, and came in the name of the Navy. John the Warrior for the closestness of his and the meals, requiring distribution, rebuild ... and arrange another embezzle in the meadow - in the name of the Most Holy Mother of God, Iversky. "
Soon the construction of a new stone temple began, and the old church had to disassemble. Funds to the construction allocated Captain I.I. Savinov, who lived opposite the church. In 1802, the temple was built. It was a rotunda with a bulk meerating and high bell tower. Along the Big Ordinet and the Iversky Lane, a brick fence with an iron fence and two gates were erected. The church was consecrated in honor of the Iberian icon of the Mother of God, and the formerly her came to renamed Georgievsky. Exactly unknown who was an architect of the Iversky Temple, but sometimes called the name I.V. EGOTOVA - Pupil V.I. Bazhenova. The temple acquired rounded outlines - a sign of mature Russian classicism: two-tiered rotunda with apside with rounded ends and a cylindrical drum completed by one-eyed. Western entrance decorated the portico of an ionic order, crowned with a fronton.
The new temple was postponed with the famous icon of the Iverka of the Mother of God from the chapel from the Resurrection Gate. This image of the Mother of God, Icestari was considered Mother's intercession of Moscow. The original icon, which, according to legend, wrote the Apostle Luke, is stored in Athos. In 1648, at the request of Patriarch Nikon, a list was made with a miraculous icon, no different from the original ("New Aki Old," as they said before). Meet the Afonov monks who brought the icon to Moscow, the king came with his family, patriarch, boyars and any people Orthodox. At the site of the meeting, the Voskresensky gate, the Iversk chapel was installed.
Through the Resurrection Gate, the winners warriors were entering the Red Square. Anyone who arrived in the capital - whether there is a king or a simple person - the first thing was to worship the Iver Icon. The bronze sign of the zero kilometer of Moscow is still located directly opposite the Iverly chapel, which from early morning and until late night is overflowing with praying.
In 1792, a list was made from the Iverskaya icon. When the icon was taken out of the chapels for the crosses, solemn worship or prayers in the houses, instead of her this list was exhibited. In 1802, he gained the refuge in the newly built church of the Iverly icon of the Mother of God. After the fire of 1812, wooden buildings left, moreover, the French church itself was looted by the French. The first update after the fire occurred in 1842, and the second - on the occasion of the central anniversary of writing the temple icon of the Iverland of the Mother of God - in 1892.
In 1898 - 1900 for the Family of the Family of the Moscow merchants of Lebedev in the Temple, Incened and gilded the iconostasis and made a new painting. At the beginning of the 20th century, at the territory of the church courtyard there were homes of clergy and the party, stone alternate, laundry, several wooden buildings and a garden. When great Princess Elizaveta Fedorovna bought a manor on a large Ordyanka for the construction of a Marfo-Mariinsky monastery there, she often came to the Iverly church for worship. There is a legend that in 1918, in one of the days of the Easter week, Elizaven Fedorovna was arrested here during the godfather. And now in the temple is kept icon with particles of the relics of the rendering of Elizabeth and Barbara, which churches were presented by the monks of the Jerusalem Monastery of Mary Magdalene, where Elizabeth Feodorovna are relic.
In 1929, the church of the Iverly icon of the Mother of God was closed. The Iverly icon was transferred to the Temple of Nicola in Blacksmiths. At different times, the clubs of the 2nd car repair plant and the confectionery factory "Marat" were placed in the church, and since 1989, the Gallery of Modern Art "Art Modern". To our time, there were no buildings in a plot belonging to the Church, except for the two-story alignment, which is now ranked with historical buildings. In the temple, the bell tower was broken to the lower tier, the head of the cross was demolished, the fence was destroyed, the additional windows were broken, the wall painting and the frescoes of the Belousovye brothers, who painted the Granovitu Chamber of the Moscow Kremlin. There was not a single iconostasis in the temple, and many icons were burned. The Iverskaya Church was subjected to real plunder: about a ton of silver (Reese, salary icons, liturgical utensils) was taken out of it.
In 1993, the temple and his historical territory The Russian Orthodox Church was returned. In 1994, church services began. Fortunately, now the temple is fully restored, the top tiers of the bell tower were prescribed, the head of the head was restored by paintings inside the church. Some of the renovated oil paintings are dated XVIII - XIX centuries. The church is returned to the appearance of 1792 - 1802 years. In addition to the temple miraculous icon of the Iverland of the Mother of God, the icon of the mother of the Mother of God is an inspired bowl, the icon of the healer of Panteleimon and the icon of the Holy Great Martyr George Victorious. One of the shrines of the temple is the packer with particles of the relics of Kiev-Pechersk and Optina Saints.
Today, the Iverskaya Church occupies a special place in the architecture of Zamoskvorechye, perfectly fit into the classic ensemble of buildings near the Church. Volumes different parts As if merged with each other: Rotonda with refectory, refectory with bell tower. Only the upper cylindrical tier of the bell tower decorated with pilasters, its shiny spire is directed up. The harmonicity of the appearance of the church is achieved by barely noticeable details, such as the unity of the shape and proportions of the arches of the side portals and windows of the Rotunda. The walls of the temple are decorated with white-stone traction and eaves, emphasizing the volume of the structure. The inner space of the church, impressive with its vastness, is the result of uniting the refectory and adhesions by Arches. The refectory and side feeders with arched portals are driving the lower rotunda tier. The temple is a little lack of lightness and plasticity, but probably he was originally and was not designed for it. The church of the Iverk icon of the Mother of God does not have such outstanding individual characteristics, such as the sorrowing church or the Church of Nikola in puffs, but it can be called a bright example of Russian classicism.

An interesting story of the icon of the Mother of the Mother "Iverskaya" "Fantamica". In the 9th century near the city of Nicea (now the territory of Turkey) in the house of the pious widow was the icon of the Mother of God. These were the times of the iconocration. When the icon found warriors, the purpose of which was to find and destroy the icons of the Virgin, the widow stood up for a remuneration to leave her to the icon until the morning. The warriors agreed, but, leaving, one warrior hit a spear in the face of the Virgin. Instantly from pierced icon flowed blood. Frightened, the warriors left. The widow attributed an icon to the sea and lowered into the water, wanting to save the icon. Icon did not lie on the water, and standing in the sea.
Through two centuries, the icon was acquired by the monks of the Iverly in Athos. She was placed in the temple, but in the morning they found over the gate. So repeated several times. And now the Most Holy Virgin appeared to the presence of Gabriel and said that he did not want to be stored inocities, but wishes to be a keeper. Inka built a notework church. There is a miraculous icon in it. "Iverskaya" icon is named by the name of the monastery, and at the place of finding - "Forthwest".
The miraculous icon knew well in Russia. In the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich in the Iversky Athos Monastery, the list of icons was ordered. The board for the icon was made of a cypress tree. After Divine Liturgy Mixed holy water and particles of saints. The icon painter mixed them with paints and wrote the icon of the Mother of God. In October 1648, the icon was brought to Moscow. She solemnly met King Alexey Mikhailovich, Patriarch Joseph and many people. Since then, this is one of the most distortions of Orthodox icons.
