"The Quick listener": how to celebrate the day of the Icon of the Mother of God

On the day of veneration of the icon of the Mother of God "Skoroposlushnitsa", Orthodox believers traditionally turn to the Mother of God with a prayer for help, protection and strengthening in everyday circumstances. The feast in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "Skoroposlushnitsa" is celebrated on November 22. For more information, see the Izvestia article.

Temple visit

An Orthodox person tries to attend a divine service on this day. In churches, prayers are read in front of the image of the "Quick-Hearer", prayer services are performed, and believers give notes for the health of their relatives and friends.

Home Prayer

Those who cannot come to the temple are advised to read the akathist or troparion to the icon. In home prayer, it is important to remain collected and sincere, remembering the miraculous help with which, according to legend, the Most Holy Theotokos responds to the requests of those who apply.

Works of mercy

Traditionally, the day of the holiday becomes a time of good deeds: helping those in need, caring for the elderly, paying attention to relatives and reconciling with those with whom disagreements have arisen.

Fasting and inner dispensation

If the holiday falls on a day of fasting, believers adhere to the established church rules. An important part of the celebration remains the inner spiritual state: striving for peace, avoiding fuss, judgment and conflict.
