The Theotokos of Zoodochos Pege is also known as The Virgin of the Healing Spring, and has been part of Orthodox Christian Pilgrimage since the times of the Byzantine Empire. Theotokos, God Bearer, also birthed a new Iconography, presenting the Virgin and Child in a chalice of water above a healing fountain. This weeks episode is also a fundraiser for quake victims of the recent events in Turkey and Syria. Please donate what you can to any or all of the following organization.
