[QUOTE]Originally posted by Brada-Anansi: [QB] According to legends, it was [b]created by Luke the Evangelist, the first iconographer, in Jerusalem between 66 and 67 AD in the cenacle – that is, the room in which the Last Supper took place.[/b] About 300 years later, Helena of Constantinople (the emperor's consort) took the icon to Constantinople, where it stayed for five centuries in the emperors' chapel. Then it was transported via Bulgaria, Moravia and Bohemia to the Ruthenian Kingdom of Galicia-Volhynia (the Polish-Ukrainian borderland). That country was successively a part of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and of Hungary and was also temporarily occupied by Turkic Tatars. Then, finally, after centuries of wandering, in 1382 the icon ended up in Częstochowa Monastery in Poland.
