About the pendant:
An exact replica of the Theotokos Gorgoepikoos symbol, which is known for being "fast to hear" or "rushing from up high to aid with speed." The Holy Monastery of Docheiariou on Mount Athos has housed this miracle-working icon since 1646. It was painted in 1563. The monk in charge of the monastery refectory became blind because he kept walking past the icon while holding torches that were blazing in his hands, even at night, disobeying a voice that warned him not to let the smoke harm the icon.The monk, seeing the mistake of his actions, begged for forgiveness for his neglect and the restoration of his sight so that he may once more see the Theotokos' Holy Icon and praise and honor her. His request was heard by the Mother of God, who gave him back his sight. It should be noted that the phrase "fast-to-hear" alludes to the Mother of God's prompt response to people who call upon her, granting them anything they ask for as long as it is beneficial to their salvation. The first of October is its feast day.
