VIRGIN OF VLADIMIR ICON - The Virgin of Vladimir is the most venerated icon in all Russia and has escaped many fires and plunderers. The Virgin is shown inclined in an attitude of contemplation while the Child rests on her arm with His cheek against hers. This attitude expresses not so much the maternal tenderness of Mary as her power to elicit tenderness in her Son as she intercedes with Him for the human race.

Her eyes look neither toward the Child, nor at the viewer, but rather inward to the heart of God and outward to the heart of the world - Perfect for eyeglasses or any other use you can think of - Religious gift idea for Christmas, Easter, Birthday Fathers Day for Priest, Bishop, him, her, Friend, Teacher
