Description

Honor the Theotokos with this Vladimir Mother of God icon from Theophany Works. This Orthodox Christian icon reproduces a sacred image traditionally associated with Saint Luke the Evangelist and deeply woven into the spiritual and historical life of Moscow. The source tradition recounts the icon’s journey from Jerusalem and Constantinople to Vladimir-on-Klyazma, where it received the name by which it is known today.

The Vladimir icon is revered as a sign of the Mother of God’s intercession and divine protection. Its history is connected with accounts of Moscow’s deliverance in times of danger, including the retreat of Tamerlane in 1395 and later threats remembered in the icon’s feast-day commemorations. The Vladimir Mother of God is commemorated on May 21/June 3, June 23/July 6, and August 26/September 8.

Theophany Works Icons are handcrafted reproductions made with prayer and a desire for excellence. The standard mounted option is printed on Museum Quality Paper, while Museum Quality Matte Canvas is available as an upgrade. Both offer rich, saturated coloration and are finished with a high-grade UV-protection sealant that adds a subtle tactile texture and can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

Each icon is prepared on a maple-shelled panel with a painted chamfered front edge and a rounded back edge, creating a shadow-box effect when displayed on a wall. A sliding key-hole slot on the back supports balanced hanging. Made in America, this Vladimir Mother of God icon is offered for the home or parish as a reproduction at a fraction of the cost of a hand-painted icon.
