Gambar dari Edessa: Perbedaan antara revisi

The first record of the existence of a physical image in the ancient city of [[Edessa, Mesopotamia|Edessa]] (now [[Urfa]]) was in [[Evagrius Scholasticus]], writing about 593, who reports a portrait of Christ, of divine origin (θεότευκτος), which effected the miraculous aid in the defence of Edessa against the Persians in 544.<ref>Evagrius, in [[Migne]], ''Patrologia Graeca''lxxxvi, 2, cols. 2748f, noted by Runciman 1931, p. 240, note 5; remarking that "the portrait of Christ has entered the class of [[Acheiropoieta|αχειροποίητοι]] icons".</ref> The image was moved to [[Constantinople]] in the 10th century. The cloth disappeared from Constantinople during the [[Sack of Constantinople]] in 1204, during the [[Fourth Crusade]], and by some believed to be reappearing as a relic in King [[Louis IX of France]]'s [[Sainte-Chapelle]] in [[Paris]]. This relic disappeared in the [[French Revolution]].<ref name="artnet1931">Two documentary inventories: year 1534 (Gerard of St. Quentin de l'Isle, Paris) and year 1740.

Penguasa Bizantium memindahkan Ikon Suci ini ke ibu kota Konstantinopel. Namun saat Konstantinopel diduduki oleh Pasukan Orde Salib, ikon ini tentunya mereka kuasai, dan sampai sekarang tidak diketahui nasibnya.
