Let’s go back to what this holiday is and what it is associated with. The holiday is also called the day of memory of the Unmade Image of the Savior. Legend has it that King Absgar sent the artist to Jesus. He asked Christ to come and heal the king. If this was not possible, the artist had to portray Jesus.

He tried, but the face of Christ shone, and the features on the canvas were blurred. Then Jesus wiped his face with a towel. He had his face made of hands. The image was delivered to the king, after which he was cured. August 29 is the day the image was moved from Edessa to Constantinople.
