Alex, Since I am not able to send you a private message... Could you please read the following articles on Our Lady of Mukachevo? http://www.mgce.uz.ua/ikona.htm http://www.promin-lubovi.narod.ru/public/4/pub4st6.htm Page 5 of this newsletter: http://www.katedra.org.ua/visnyk/pdf/2004/ss18_2004.pdf Are they articles that discuss the history of the icon? I am wondering if the articles have answers to the following questions: 1) What happened to the icon after the transfer of the monastery to the ROC? 2) Does anyone know where the icon is currently kept? 3) Has the Vatican or the Eparchy of Mukachevo ever requested its return?  I will be sooooooo grateful to you! God bless you! griego

Dear Griego, When it comes to the icons of the Most Holy Mother of God, I cannot resist . . . One of the articles states that the original Icon given to the Basilian Fathers by Pope Pius XI was kept with the father of one of the monks. The monk and his father died and and the secret of the icon went with them. On January 4, 1999, there was an earthquake in Transcarpathia. The Basilian Fathers of "Male Berezne" went to Mukachevo to find the miraculous icon. Eventually the family that kept the icon was found and the Fathers brought it to their monastery in Male Berezne. The article ends with "May "Glory be to Jesus Christ" echo as a blessing for Transcarpathia always!" Most Holy Mother of God, save us! Alex

Alex Wow!  That is news to me! I am just awestruck at the moment! So then the icon was never taken to Moscow in the first place? I wonder if Fr. Christopher Zugger is aware of this since in his book "The Forgotten" he writes of the icon being taken to Moscow. I am surprised that the news of its discovery was not better promulgated. I am happy to hear that the icon is back. Thank you soooooooo much, Alex. You have made my day! griego

Who is this Fr. Christopher Zugger? What is the information for his book: self-published? If there is a publisher, maybe you should write to him in care of the publisher with the correct information, and in the spirit of friendly Catholic-Orthodox relations.

If there is a publisher, maybe you should write to him in care of the publisher with the correct information, and in the spirit of friendly Catholic-Orthodox relations. Fr. Christopher Zugger is pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Byzantine Catholic Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He has written a wonderful book titled, The Forgotten: Catholics of the Soviet Union Empire from Lenin through Stalin . This is the first book in English to recount in great detail the persecution of the Eastern and Roman Catholic churches in Russia. It is available through the parish website or Amazon.com. The book was published in 2001; Fr. Christopher cites another book which states that the Mukachevo icon was taken to Moscow. So, it's very likely that Fr. Christopher was unaware of the icon's discovery in 1999 at the time of writing.

I see that means that there are two books out there with misinformation in them.
If you are know of the author and his parish, I suggest you provide him with the proper informatiion so he can correct his book.

The updated website for the Eparchy of Mukachevo has a new link on the icon of Our Lady of Mukachevo. You can click on the icon for an enlarged version of it. The link is: http://www.mgce.uz.ua/ukr/ikona.phpWould anyone be so kind to give a summary in English on what the article says. Does it talk about the recovery of the icon? I would really appreciate it. God bless.
