The restoration of the church of the Theotokos at Neorion
The church, which was the property of the patrician Anthony, was located in the courtyard of his home at Neorion.1 During its restoration, the church received miraculous grace, working many miracles for those who came to it with faith.
After the patrician Anthony reposed, the church was abandoned and stripped bare. When Emperor Romanos Lekapēnós (reigned 919-944) was preparing to demolish it, the foreman in charge of the church's demolition was prevented from doing so by a vision of the Theotokos.
It was then decided to restore the church and a chrysoboulos was obtained, providing an annual grant for its maintenance.
1 Neorion was in the eastern part Constantinople, on the south coast.
