Investigations into its origins revealed that it had come from a church on Cyprus and had likely been seized by pirates. The icon was duly returned. However, the fishermen found it at Tsambika once again the very next morning.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33124\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33124\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-33124\" title=\"tsambika ikone kirche rhodos\" src=\"https:\/\/greece-moments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tsambika-ikone-kirche-rhodos.jpg\" alt=\"tsambika ikone kirche rhodos\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33124\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Icon of Mary with votive offerings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Seeing this as a miracle, the fishermen decided to honour the Blessed Mother by building the chapel &#8220;Kyra Tsambika&#8221; on the mountain above where the <strong>icon had appeared at Tsambika Beach<\/strong>. Transporting the building materials up the hill was gruelling work, so not only the men and boys but also the childless women of the community had to lend a hand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the day the summit church was completed, another miracle occurred: all the childless women who had helped with the construction became pregnant. This marked the beginning of the pilgrimage, and ever since, women from across Europe have been making their way to <strong>Mount Tsambika<\/strong> in the hope of having their wish for a child fulfilled.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33125\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33125\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-33125\" title=\"Tsambika Kapelle Rhodos Legende Frauen Schwanger\" src=\"https:\/\/greece-moments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Tsambika-Kapelle-Rhodos-Legende-Frauen-Schwanger.jpg\" alt=\"Tsambika Kapelle Rhodos Legende Frauen Schwanger\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33125\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Entrance area of the Tsambika Chapel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>first names Tsambika and Tsambikos<\/strong> exist only on Rhodes, given in gratitude for this wish being granted.
