About Icon: According to Christian legend, the Image of Edessa, known to Orthodox Christians as the Holy Mandylion, was a holy relic - a piece of cloth allegedly containing the miraculous image of the face of Jesus imprinted upon it - the so-called first icon (\"image\"). The original record of this relic was first recorded in the early fourth century C.E. by Eusebius of Caesarea. He said that King Abgar V of Edessa wrote to Jesus, asking him to come cure him of an illness. Abgar, thereafter, received a letter from Jesus, declining the invitation, but promising a future visit by one of his disciples. Along with the letter was sent a likeness of Jesus. Instead, the apostle \"Thaddaeus\" is said to have come to Edessa, bearing the words of Jesus, by the virtues of which the king was miraculously healed.According to Christian legend, the Image of Edessa, known to Orthodox Christians as the Holy Mandylion, was a holy relic - a piece of cloth allegedly containing the miraculous image of the face of Jesus imprinted upon it - the so-called first icon (\"image\").
