Virgin Mary Tapestry Madonna and Child Icon Saint Virgin Mary in Red Virgin of Vladimir Russian Icon Tapestry 14 Inch, Catholic Orthodox Christian Icon Image Religious Gifts For Woman Man A Brief History of the VLADIMIR MOTHER OF GOD Icon An icon to the Eastern Christian is a window to the eternal. The icon connects the created to his creator and His saints. The Virgin Mary is presented in over 350 different icons that have special significance to the religious life of the Russian people. While all icons play a part in the religious life of Russia, some played a part in the historical and political development of Russia. The Vladimir Mother of God icon, a variation of the Eleousa or Tenderness iconographical type, is the most beloved icon of all Russia. Orthodox tradition holds St Luke the Evangelist, the first iconographer, wrote (painted) the original “Vladimir” icon on boards from the table in the home of the Holy Family in Nazareth. It is believed St Luke knew the Virgin Mary and many of the Apostles; therefore, his representations are the pattern for later icon paintings. The letters MP and O Phi Y on either side is the Greek abbreviation for Mary as the Mother of God. The stars on her head and shoulders represent Mary’s virginity. The icon was taken from Jerusalem to Constantinople, the capital city of the Eastern Byzantine Empire, in 450AD.
Beautiful Tapestry Icon of Virgin Mary and Christ Child
Our Lady of Vladimir – The Virgin of Vladimir is the most venerated icon in all Russia and has escaped many fires and plunderers.
The Virgin is shown inclined in an attitude of contemplation while the Child rests on her arm with His cheek against hers. This attitude expresses not so much the maternal tenderness of Mary as her power to elicit tenderness in her Son as she intercedes with Him for the human race. Her eyes look neither toward the Child, nor at the viewer, but rather inward to the heart of God and outward to the heart of the world.
