The Vladimir Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos | Silver and gold foiled icon on wood | Large XLG icon 15.7" x 13"

The appearance of the revered icon in Russia is associated with the name of Prince Yuri Dolgoruky, who received this shrine as a gift from the Patriarch of Constantinople Luke Chrysoverkh. The image of the Queen of Heaven was placed with the greatest respect in the women's monastery in the city of Vyshgorod, not far from Kiev, where the icon quickly became famous thanks to the healings given through prayer in front of her and cases of miraculous help.
