Annotation

The article describes the history of the previously unknown edition of the "Legend of the Appearance and Miracles of the Theodorov Icon of the Mother of God", compiled around 1777 as an appendix to the liturgical sequence in honor of the miraculous image, and its text is published. When the Holy Synod considered this sequence in 1777, it was decided not to publish the text of the Legend in this edition, so the printed edition of the new service (1778) was accompanied only by a brief edition of the Legend from the printed Prologue of 1662. Until now, the text of the Legend in the edition of 1777, preserved in the only manuscript in the archives of the Holy Synod, was not known to researchers. The originator of this text is not specified in the source, but it can be assumed with high probability that he was Archpriest John Krasovsky Jr. (1746–1810), a native of Kostroma, sacellary of the great court church in St. Petersburg and a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
