Product description

The icon depicts the image of one of the greatest Russian shrines, the Vladimir Mother of God, painted according to legend by the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke in the 1st century AD. Until the middle of the 12th century, the icon was located in Constantinople, and only then was it presented as a gift to Grand Duke Yuri Dolgoruky. In 1160, the icon was moved to the stone Assumption Church in Vladimir, for which it was named Vladimirskaya. On the reverse side is a prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos.

Unlike gold, silver is more affordable, but it is not inferior to it in beauty and nobility. However, pure silver is too soft to create durable jewelry, so it has been used as alloys since ancient times.

The iconography of the Virgin is surprisingly diverse, but all this diversity goes back to three main types: "Oranta", "Hodegetria" and "Tenderness". Each of them reveals a certain facet of Her relationship with the Divine Son.
