Theotokos of Kazan Framed Canvas Icon

The Theotokos of Kazan is among the most beloved icons within Russian Orthodoxy, said to have been discovered in the sixteenth century after being revealed in a vision to a young girl who was directed to the place where it lay hidden beneath the ashes of a fire. From that humble beginning, devotion to this icon spread throughout Russia, and tradition holds that it was carried before the forces that liberated Moscow from foreign occupation in the early seventeenth century, after which it became closely associated with the protection of the nation in times of peril. The icon itself belongs to the tender type known as Eleousa, showing the Mother of God and the Christ Child pressed cheek to cheek in an image of close and unguarded affection. It remains one of the most cherished icons among the Russian people, and makes a meaningful gift for a baptism or name day, particularly within families of Russian or Slavic heritage.

“For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.” (Luke 1:48)

O Most Holy Theotokos, who through humble means wast revealed to comfort and protect thy people, watch over us in every time of trouble, and lead us, as thou didst lead them, safely home. Amen.
