celebrated in the eastern orthodox and byzantine catholic churches on october 14 or october 1 the feast celebrates the protection afforded the faithful through the intercessions of the theotokos lit mother of god one eastern title of the virgin mary the feast is commemorated in eastern orthodoxy as a whole but by no means as fervently as it is in russia belarus and ukraine in the slavic orthodox churches it is celebrated as the most important solemnity besides the twelve great feasts and pascha in ukraine it has a special meaning through its connection to the spirituality of the ukrainian cossacks and accordingly and more recently to defenders of ukraine day etymology edit the protection of the theotokos or the intercession of the theotokos church slavonic покровъ pokrov russian покрова pokrova like the greek σκέπη sképē has a complex meaning first of all it refers to a cloak or shroud but it also means protection or intercession for this reason the name of the feast is variously translated as the veil of our lady the protecting veil of the theotokos it is often translated as feast of the intercession or feast of the holy protection with some reservations the intercession icon may be related to the western virgin of mercy image in which the virgin spreads wide her cloak to cover and protect a group of kneeling supplicants first known from italy from about 1280 tradition edit russian icon of pokrov icon showing a broad protective cloak mid 17th century ukraine according to eastern orthodox sacred tradition the apparition of mary the theotokos occurred during the 10th century at the blachernae church in constantinople modern day istanbul where several of her relics her robe her veil and part of her belt were kept on sunday october 1 at four in the morning st andrew the blessed fool for christ who was a slav by birth saw the dome of the church open and the virgin mary enter moving in the air above him glowing and surrounded by angels and saints she knelt and prayed with tears for all faithful christians in the world the virgin mary asked her son jesus christ to accept the prayers of all the people entreating him and looking for her protection once her prayer was completed she walked to the altar and continued to pray afterwards she spread her veil over all the people in the church as a protection 1 st andrew turned to his disciple st epiphanius who was standing near him and asked do you see brother the holy theotokos praying for all the world epiphanius answered yes holy father i see it and am amazed 1 part of a series

called upon the intercession of the mother of god to protect them from an attack by a large rus army rus was still pagan at the time according to nestor the feast celebrates the destruction of this

through their history the holy lady of protection was always considered the heavenly patroness of zaporozhian host and therefore ukrainian cossacks as a legend has it 6 each of their campaign the cossacks began with sub tuum praesidium prayer to the holy lady in ukrainian під твою милість прибігаємо богородице діво молитвами нашими в скорботах не погордуй але від бід ізбав нас єдина чиста і
