"The Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God
The Orthodox icon of the Holy Mother of God of Vladimir is often depicted on guard carabiners used by Christians since ancient times against evil forces. This icon is the largest Russian cult object. Russian tsars were crowned and patriarchates elected in his presence. And it is on his protection that Russia has pinned its hopes in the years of difficulty. The great and miraculous image, according to legend, was painted by the apostle Luke and was blessed by the Mother of God herself. In 1131 the Patriarchate of Constantinople gave the icon to the great prince Yuri Dolgoruky. Since 1395 the icon has resided in Moscow (today - in the functioning Church of St. Nicholas in Tolmatchi of the Tretyakov Gallery). She is commemorated with a liturgy on 8 September and 3 June.
