This is the Armenian name of the icon hanging on an altar Church of Saints Peter and Paul in İstanbul. It is covered by a mask of silver representing the Virgin with her coat while covering the ranks of monks and nuns of the Order of Preachers, led by Domenico and Caterina to the left to right, and that the original wooden reveals only the faces of the Mother and the Child. It was brought to İstanbul by the monks when they were deported to the Crimea, together with the population to replenish the capital of the Ottoman Empire after the Crusade of Pius II at the end of 1400. You escaped the fires, which were the norm in İstanbul, has protected the city from the plague, was revered by the inhabitants of the neighborhood of the Genoese Levantine and now rests near a painting of St. Hyacinth - monitoring and memory - with a Madonna under an arm and a monstrance in her hand escaping a fire.

means one who shows the way, that is Christ.

These deals are like.
