This Icon miraculously appeared in 1392, and was housed in the Church of St. Nicholas the God-pleaser near Moscow. A miraculous copy in Tambov came to be called the Devpeteruvskaya-Tambov Icon of the Mother of God. This Image of the Mother of God was the cell Icon of Holy Hierarch Pitirim of Tambov. After Holy Hierarch Pitirim's blessed repose, the Icon was placed above the reliquary housing his relics in the Holy Transfiguration Cathedral. It gained particular renown in 1833, following the miraculous liberation of a certain person who, on the basis of a false accusation against him, had been imprisoned. St. Pitirim appeared to the man's wife, and directed that a moleben be served before his cell icon. The woman obeyed the Holy Hierarch's order, and soon thereafter, her husband was released from prison.
