Today we celebrate the renovation of the temple of the Blessed Virgin Mary, it is located outside the walls of Tsarigrad and it is called "Livelihood Source" . We remember the great and supreme miracles that happened in the temple of the Mother of God.
The church was built by the great emperor Leo, called Makelius (in 454). Even before he ascended the imperial throne, Leo, who was known as a good and merciful man, walking in this place one day, saw a lost blind man.
The man was thirsty and asked the Lion to help him. He entered the thick forest, but did not find water. Then he heard a voice that said to him: "You don't have to, Lion, try so hard to look for water, because water is nearby.
The lion went back to searching for water, but still did not find it. He heard the same voice again: "Emperor Lion, go inside the thick forest and you will find a puddle, you will take a handful of the muddy water and you will quench the thirst of the blind man, you will apply mud to his blind eyes and you will immediately know which side, because long ago to this place".
The lion did as the eye told him, and after he anointed the blind man's eyes, he immediately saw. According to the prediction of the Mother of God, it was not long before Leo became the real emperor. Soon after that, he built a temple on that place, which still exists today.
That's why they started performing many miracles of healing here.
