The Icon of Our Lady of Vladimir and its origin

Sacred images are an inseparable part of Orthodoxy. They are called “windows into heaven”, and some icons helped not only individuals but the entire nation. Among the most beloved and revered symbols in the Eastern Church is the icon of Our Lady of Vladimir.

The original painting is nowadays kept in a small church in the heart of Moscow. According to historians, it can be traced back to the early 12th century. The icon is not just the miraculous depiction of Theotokos with the Child but also a piece of Byzantine art. The artist who created the painting remains unknown.

The icon depicts the Divine Child being tenderly held by his mother Mary. He embraces Theotokos with his both arms and looks at her trustfully. The eyes of the Virgin Mary are fixed on the viewer – you can see strength, love, tenderness, wisdom, and compassion in them. Thanks to countless miracles, the sacred image quickly became the symbol of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Miraculous character of the holy image

Since its arrival in Vladimir, the icon has become the national palladium of the Rus. It is mentioned in numerous chronicles. Subsequently, the image began to play a prominent role in the history of the country. It defended the lands during invasions, wars, epidemics, and famine.

At all times, the Virgin of Vladimir was greatly venerated by nobility and took part in the major events of the state. The image has seen the coronations of great monarchs, was taken to the besieged cities and into battles and was even used in important ceremonies of the country. The sacred image has 3 feast days that are associated with specific miracles (when the icon was brought into the battle and thousands of people prayed to it in collective prayer).
