The Holy Cincture or Belt is the one sacred heirloom that remains from the earthly life of the Theotokos. The Holy Belt of Theotokos preserves the grace of the Virgin Mary, sanctifies the faithful and frees them from sorrows and diseases. It has worked many miracles. In particular, it has been given the special blessing of helping childless women conceive. Its feast is on the 31st of August.The Cincture of the Theotokos is believed to be a relic of the Theotokos (Blessed Virgin Mary), now in the Vatopedi monastery on Mount Athos, which is venerated by the Holy Eastern Orthodox Church. The word \"cincture\" (Greek: zone) is sometimes also translated as \"belt\", \"sash\" or \"girdle\".According to the Sacred Tradition of the Eastern Orthodox Church, at the time of her Dormition, the Theotokos was buried by the Twelve Apostles in Jerusalem. Three days later, Thomas the Apostle, who had been delayed and unable to attend the funeral, arrived and asked to have one last look at the Virgin Mary. When he and the other apostles arrived at Mary\'s Tomb, they found that her body was missing. According to some accounts, the Virgin Mary appeared at that time and gave her belt (cincture) to the Apostle Thomas.
The Emperor John VI Kantakouzenos (1347–1355) donated the cincture to the Holy Great Monastery of Vatopedi on Mount Athos, where it remains to this day, in a silver reliquary of newer manufacture which depicts the Monastery.
