In the 12th century, a Byzantine emperor and a hermit clashed over a sacred icon of the Virgin Mary in Cyprus. This episode tells the story of the Kykkotissa, a miraculous icon that survived the Iconoclast controversy, the Lusignan conquest, and the Ottoman era. We trace its journey from Constantinople to the Troodos Mountains, the legend of its creation by Saint Luke, and its role as a symbol of Cypriot resistance under foreign rule. Along the way, we meet the hermit Isaiah, Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, and the monks of Kykkos Monastery. We also explore how the icon's power was tested during the Ottoman occupation and how it remains a focal point of devotion today. This is a story of faith, art, and identity—how a painted panel became an island's soul. #Kykkotissa #KykkosMonastery #Troodos #Icon #Byzantine #AlexiosIKomnenos #HermitIsaiah #VirginMary #Iconoclasm #Lusignan #OttomanCyprus #MiraculousIcon #SaintLuke #CyprusHistory #FexingoHistory #Mediterranean #OrthodoxChristianity #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
