Abstract

Greek names of icons of the Theotokos (Mother of God) are often found in our scientific literature. Below is the material on the names of the Bogolyubskaya icon of the Theotokos, which came from the Greek language. The origin and use of these words in the source language and in the history of the Russian language are studied. The terms Agiosoritissa, Paraklisis, as well as related to this topic (Khalkoprateya, Deisus) or cognate words (Paraclitus, Paraklitus) are considered. Such a comprehensive analysis of this group of terms of Greek origin has not been undertaken in the Russian tradition.
