Unburnt Bush Mother of God | Gold and Silver Foiled Mounted on Wood | Size: 2,5" x 3,5"

Virgin of the Unburnt Bush is used as 'fire protection.' In old Russia and even today some Russian houses and businesses have an icon of the Unburnt Bush hung in the door way to protect the building from fire. The icon pictures the Virgin and Child in the 'burning bush' of Sinai surrounded by the Evanglists and angels.
