The Icon of Virgins: different images are different states of the Mother of God | 15 7/8"x13 1/8" (40cm x 33 x 0.8 cm)

The Icon of Virgins: different images are different states of the Mother of God. This icon includes scenes of Jesus life.
Now it is known about the existence of about 700 venerated icons of the Most Holy Theotokos. This is not surprising, because the Most Pure Mother is very much loved by Christians all over the world.
WHY SO MANY DIFFERENT ICONS OF THE VIRGIN WITH DIFFERENT NAMES, IF SHE IS ONE?
You are right, the Mother of God is really only one, and when we pray in front of this or that icon, we pray to the only Virgin Mary. After all, when we pray in front of Her icon, we say: "Holy Mother of God, save us," and not at all "Icon of the Mother of God, save us." It is not the icon that saves us, not the matter, but the One whose image is on it. And the fact that there are a huge number of icons of the Theotokos in the church tradition says the following.

In fact, every icon of the Mother of God is associated with one or another of Her phenomena to the human race. And depending on the conditions in which and how the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to man, similar nuances are reflected on Her icons. That is why the icons of the Mother of God are called "Pochaevskaya", "Vladimirskaya", etc.
