The history and significance of the Vladimir Icon is majestic, first of all for the Russian people, because it is truly their protector.

The origin and journey of the icon of the Vladimir Mother of God

An ancient legend tells about the origin of the icon. He wrote it when the Mother of God was still alive. An image was created on a board from the table where the entire Holy Family had a meal.

Until 450, the icon was in Jerusalem; in the same year it was sent to Constantinople. There it was kept somewhere until approximately 1131.

In the 12th century, the icon of the Vladimir Mother of God was donated Kievan Rus Luke Chrysovergos (Patriarch of Constantinople). She was sent to the Mother of God Monastery in Vyshgorod.

When she had been there for some time, the icon was taken away from there by Andrei Bogolyubsky (son of Yuri Dolgorukov). On his journey, he stops in the city of Vladimir, where he received the sign of the Mother of God. On the site of this miracle, a temple was erected, in which the icon remained. Now it began to be called Vladimirskaya.

Today, there is a list there that was written by Andrei Rublev. The original icon was transferred in 1480 to the Assumption Cathedral, which is located in Moscow. Then the image was transferred two more times: in 1918 - to Tretyakov Gallery, and in 1999 - to the Church of St. Nicholas. It is still stored in the latter.

In addition, even in the church in Vyshgorod, cases of moving the icon were recorded. She seemed to find no place for herself. Three times she was found in different parts of the temple, and in the end, after prayer, Andrei Bogolyubsky took her with him to the Rostov land.

Then there were numerous cases of healing of ordinary people. For example, water washing an icon could cure a disease. This is how healing of the eyes and heart took place.

This is how the Vladimir Mother of God became. Its significance both for the common people and for the greats of this world was undeniable. She witnessed many important actions in Russia. This includes the appointment of patriarchs and military campaigns. They also swore allegiance to their homeland before her and carried out the coronation of several monarchs.

Then there were some more signs of her intercession for the Russian land. For example, in 1395, a great invasion of the conqueror Tamerlane was expected, who had already conquered many lands and was approaching the Russian border. It seemed that the battle could not be avoided, but the universal prayer to the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God did not allow this to happen.

It is believed that this style of painting icons did not exist in early Christian art; it appeared much later.

This style of writing contains two central figures. This is the Mother of God and the baby Jesus Christ. Their faces are closely touching, the Son puts his hand around the Mother’s neck. This image is very touching.

The peculiarity that the icon of the Vladimir Mother of God has, its meaning is the appearance of the baby’s heel, which is not found on others similar to this type.

This icon is double sided. The reverse depicts the throne and the symbols of the Passion. This suggests that the icon itself carries a special idea. This is the future sacrifice of Jesus and the mourning of his Mother.

There is also an opinion that this icon is a copy of Our Lady of Caress from the Blachernae Basilica. In any case, the Vladimir image has long become an independent miraculous face.

  • Prayer before the Bogolyubskaya icon is a help during epidemics (cholera, plague).
  • At cancer diseases They offer prayers to the image of the Mother of God, the All-Tsarina.
  • The Kazan icon is a blessing for marriage, as well as a protector from various invasions and in difficult times.
  • The image of the Mother of God “Mammal” is very revered by nursing mothers, and prayers are also offered to him during childbirth.

Weigh my offense, resolve it, as you will: for I have no other help except You, no other intercessor, no good comforter, except You, O Mother of God, for you will preserve me and cover me forever and ever. Amen.

O Most Holy Lady Lady Theotokos! Accept our unworthy prayer, and save us from the slander of evil people and from sudden death, and grant us repentance before the end. Have mercy on our prayer, and grant joy instead of sorrow. And deliver us, Lady, from all misfortune and adversity, sorrow and illness and all evil. And we, Thy sinful servants, are made worthy to be at the right hand at the second coming of Thy Son, Christ our God, and heirs of the existence of the Kingdom of Heaven and eternal life with all the saints throughout the endless ages of ages. Amen.

A little history

Church Tradition says that the Face belongs to the brush of the Evangelist Luke and was painted on the material from which the table was made, which served as the place for the meal of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. Previously, the icon was in Constantinople and Jerusalem, and later it was presented as a gift to Yuri Dolgoruky. Then his heir moved the Face to the Assumption Cathedral in the city of Vladimir, from here the icon acquired its name.

After some time, the image ended up in Moscow, so faithful Christians saved it from Tamerlane’s troops.

According to ancient chronicles, Tamerlane retired after a strange vision: the Mother of God herself appeared to him and ordered him to leave the Christian land. Thus, for the first time, the Most Pure Virgin saved Rus' from imminent war.

The second miracle from the icon was the salvation of the Russian people from the invasion of the Tatar Khan.

And for the third time the Lady did not abandon Holy Rus': She prevented bloodshed during the attacks of the Kazan Khan.

There is a widely known case in history when 12 people found themselves under the collapsed gates of Vladimir. At the prayer of Prince Andrey before the Holy Face of the Mother of God, all the victims remained alive and did not receive serious injuries.

Attention! Currently, the miraculous Face of the Queen of Heaven is located in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow.
