This icon can be found in Romania, in Celic Dere, a small village with turkish name. It’s considered to be miraculous. Why? Because it was at his arrival in that place, cca 1816, completely dark. After 200 years a big part of her it’s clean without human intervention (if somebody would want to clean the icon would do it 100%). The process was graduated, in time. Memories of old people in the village said that 50, 60 or 80 years ago was just a little clean.
Other unique thing is that Jesus Christ is depicted with closed eyes. I think it’s the only icon in the world depicted like this. People in the village say that the Christ will open the eyes at the end of the world.
