About the miracle-working icon:
The icon of Our Lady of Gorgoepikoos is one of the most well-known miraculous icons, along with the icon of Our Lady Portaitissa, both of which are kept on Mount Athos.
The icon of the Virgin Mary Gorgoepikoos is housed at the Holy Monastery of Dochiariou. Initially, it was kept in a place to the right of the monastery’s Table (that is the dining room). Later, a special chapel was built near that spot in her honor and the holy icon has been transferred and prevented there ever since.
In this chapel, the Divine Liturgy is celebrated twice a week, the monastic tonsures are conducted and daily morning and evening supplications are held before the icon of the Theotokos.
In the Synaxarion of the Monastery of Dochiariou, Saint Nicodemus records that the holy icon of the Virgin Mary Gorgoepikoos was painted by the founder of the monastery, Neophytos, in the 11th century.
