This icon was brought to Murom by the holy Prince Constantine of Murom at the beginning of the 12th century.

For a long time he had tried to convince the pagans of Murom to accept the Christian faith, but they did not agree and even went so far as to organize a conspiracy to kill him.

When the Prince learned of this, he prayed fervently to the Mother of God and then, carrying the sacred icon, he went to the pagans. The pagans were seized with fear, changed their thoughts and themselves asked for baptism.

At the end of the thirteenth century, when Bishop Vasilij was sitting on the chair of Murom, he, carrying the miraculous icon in his hand, sailed on his (liturgical cloak) to Starij Rjazan. In 1291 he then moved to the new episcopal see of Novij Rjazan and there he also brought the icon of the Mother of God Muromskaja, whose feast is fixed on April 12, the day of the memory of the holy bishop Vasilij.
