Theophilos handed the icon down to his descendants. During the period of the persecutions, they hid it in the cave. When they died or gave their life for Christ, the icon remained in the cave until it was miraculously discovered by Saint Efrosini. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2015-11-19 12:00:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- they died/were killed= gave their life -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2015-11-24 09:48:29 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- glad to have helped |
