Empress Theodora was a Byzantine empress in the 9th century, wife of Emperor Theophilos. At a time when iconoclasm - the heresy that forbade and destroyed holy icons - was tearing the Church apart, Theodora, after her husband's death, acting as regent, convened a council and solemnly restored the icons to the churches.
By that act, in the year 843, the long persecution of icons came to an end and the Feast of the Triumph (Victory) of Orthodoxy was established, which is celebrated to this day on the first Sunday of Great Lent. In the icon she is depicted as an empress holding an icon of Christ in her hands - a sign of the faith she defended. Before her icon the faithful pray for faithfulness to Orthodoxy and for courage in defending the truth.
