The Image of the Most Holy Theotokos "Vladimirskaya"

The miraculous image of the Most Holy Theotokos "Vladimirskaya" is enclosed in an openwork frame of petals. This is one of the most revered images of the Russian Church, known for numerous miracles. The name comes from the city of Vladimir, where the icon has been located since the 12th century. According to legend, the Evangelist Luke painted this iconographic image called "Tenderness" - where the Face of the Infant touches the Face of the Virgin. On the reverse side is a prayer to the Virgin Mary with a flourishing cross towering over her.
