The Panagia Antiphonitria Icon is located in the katholikon of Konstamonitou Monastery on Mount Athos, and it became famous in the following way.
On August 1, 1020, the eve of the monastery’s feast day (Transfer of the Relics of the Protomartyr Stephen from Jerusalem to Constantinople), the ecclesiarch Father Agathon, was overcome with great sorrow. The monastery’s feast day was approaching, and its supplies were so depleted that there was not enough oil to light the church lamps for the solemn celebration.
