The original icon of the Theotokos the "Multiplier of Wheat" was written in the 19th century at the blessing of St. Ambrose of Optina. He established October 15 as a day of celebration and prayer for a safe and fruitful harvest, saying the Mother of God is "a helper for people in their labors for the acquiring of their daily bread." Before his repose, St. Ambrose sent many copies of the icon to his spiritual children.
Through the icon, the Theotokos has interceded for many miraculous harvests, seasonable weather, and the lifting of drought. The icon is a patron of farmers, gardeners, and others who work the soil for their daily bread.
The traditional prayer before this icon, composed by St. Ambrose, is: Hail, Full of Grace, the Lord is with You! Grant unto us unworthy ones the dew of Your grace and the showing forth of Your mercy! Its feast is celebrated on October 15.
