The custom of venerating images that are believed to have healing and
protective powers also made its way to Serbia from Byzantium. These images
were usually icons of the Virgin, some of which continue to be objects of
cult even today. Others are known to us from visual and written testimonies.
The toponymic epithets inscribed on their copies are the most reliable proof
of the veneration they once enjoyed. These images can be classified into
three groups: the most famous sacred images of Constantinople and
Thessalonike; icons highly venerated in places that became part of the
medieval Serbian state during its expansion; and finally, those whose cult
originated in Serbia itself. |
