The holy and miracle working icon of the Virgin Mary was brought to the Vatopaidi monastery by the Blessed elder [[Joseph of Vatopedi|Joseph]] (who is still alive) from the Nea Skete. The first record that the icon has miraculous powers was witnessed by Elder Joseph. One day a young man from Cyprus went to visit and entered into the church. At that point, the Elder witnessed a glowing light radiating from the face of the Theotokos and an invisible power pushed the young man down to the ground.
