Mother of God "Quick to Hear":

The most important thing about the icon of the Mother of God "Quick to Hear" is its name, which was given to the icon by the Lord Himself. According to tradition from Docheiariou Monastery, the Virgin addressed a monk who unintentionally soiled her fresco with smoke, saying: "I am 'Quick to Hear,' for I will quickly hearken to the prayers of those who call upon me."
