Intercession of the Holy Virgin
One of the most important Orthodox holidays, which is especially revered in Ukraine, is the Intercession of the Holy Virgin. It has a long tradition and originates from Byzantium, when, according to legend, during the siege of Constantinople, the Holy Virgin appeared in the Church of Vlachernae, covering the people with her shawl and protecting them from enemies. In the Orthodox tradition, the Intercession symbolizes the protection and intercession of the Mother of God, as well as a prayer for peace and tranquility.
In Ukraine, this holiday is especially revered, and its traditions are inextricably linked to the history of the Ukrainian Cossacks. The Cossacks believed that it was through Her intercession that they won victories in the struggle for independence.
