history of the holiday.
The holiday is dedicated to the events that took place in 944. Then the miraculous image of Jesus Christ was transferred from Edessa to Constantinople.
It is believed that Christ washed himself, after which he put a cloth to his face to wipe it.. On this canvas miraculously reflected the face of the Savior.
The image of Jesus, reflected on the canvas, is considered the first icon with his image. The beard of Christ after washing was wet, so it appeared on the fabric in the form of a wedge.. From here came another name for the holiday - Spas Wet Beard.
