  Our Lady of Potchaev Silver Icon #16179
Our Lady of Potchaev Silver Icon  This modern, beautiful silver-plated icon of Pochaev Virgin is hand-painted on a wood base with a silver-plated cover with incredible ornate gold and silver accents. The entire icon is overlaid with a beautifully finished, highly detailed repousse (high relief) gold and silver-plated metallic cover (also known as a "riza") with an attached 24-carat gold-plated halo. The riza uses a scrolled floral pattern to accent the subjects and covers the less important areas of the icon. Velvet backing. Icon History: Mother and Child in a tender cheek-to-cheek embrace. Probably the most famous icon attributed to St. Luke and one of the most renowned miracle working in Russia.This great miracle-working icon was for 300 years kept in the monastery on Pochaev Mountain which, just as Mount Athos, was chosen by the Mother of God. In 1340, the Virgin Mary appeared in a pillar of fire at the top of the mountain, after which an impression of Her foot, filled with clear water, was left in trie rock. In 1848, this miracle-working icon saved the people of Kiev from cholera. Dating from that period is one of the icon's versions popularly known as the "footprint" icon, Instead of St. Menas, St.Elijah the Prophet, St. Stephen and St. Abraham the Righteous and the Great Martyrs Sts Catherine, Parasceve and Irene surrounding the Virgin Mary and the Pre-Eternal Infant, the Mother of God's footprint is depicted in the lower part of this icon. According to the Monastery's records, all copies of the miracle-working icon have wrought numerous miracles and cures such as curing of grave diseases, deliverance from sudden death, captivity and penalty, and showing the right way to those who err. The entire icon is overlaid with a beautifully engraved, highly detailed repousse (high relief) gold and silver-plated metallic cover (also known as a "riza") with an attached 24-carat gold-plated halo. The riza uses a scrolled floral pattern to accent the subjects and covers the less important areas of the icon.
