Theotokos Our Lady of the Sign Framed Canvas Icon

Known in Russian tradition as Znamenie, meaning ‘The Sign,’ this icon shows the Mother of God in an attitude of prayer, with the image of the Christ Child enthroned within a circle upon her breast, a striking visual echo of the ancient prophecy that a virgin would conceive and bear a son who would be called Emmanuel, God with us. The icon takes its name from this fulfilled prophecy, standing as a visible sign of God's faithfulness to His promises across the long centuries between the words of the prophet and their fulfilment in the Incarnation. Several wonder-working copies of this icon type are venerated across Russia, each associated in turn with deliverance during times of siege or hardship faced by the cities that held them. It is a fitting icon for anyone seeking a renewed confidence in God's promises during a season of waiting or uncertainty.

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14)

O Theotokos, living sign of God's faithfulness, strengthen our confidence in His promises, and grant that we may wait upon Him as patiently as the prophets who foretold thy Son. Amen.
