Virgin Mary of Vladimir Icon

The Virgin Mary of Vladimir Icon is one of the most revered and recognizable icons in the Orthodox Church tradition. Its history goes back to antiquity, and its importance for believers is enormous.
The icon got its name from the city of Vladimir, where it was preserved for many centuries. The first mention of this icon dates back to the XII century. According to legend, it was painted by St. Luke the Apostle on a board made from a pillar that supported the roof of the Holy Family’s house in Nazareth. Brought to Kiev, it became the patroness of the city and was later transferred to Vladimir.
The Byzantine origin of the icon gives it a special beauty and subtlety. The icon depicts the Mother of God with the infant Jesus in her arms. This icon is often associated with miraculous healings and miracles. Believers turn to the Vladimir icon for intercession in troubles, illnesses and difficult moments.
The importance of the Vladimir icon in Russian history is emphasized by the fact that it was often used as a sacred standard-bearer during military campaigns and before battles. It symbolizes protection and hope for the Russian people.
