*Icon set sold without candles.
According to Orthodox church tradition, the icon of the Vladimir Mother of God was still written by St. Luke the Evangelist during the earthly life of the Mother of God. It was drawn up on a board coming from the table where Jesus Christ, the Mother of God and St. Joseph ate their meals. When Our Lady saw the icon she said: “From now on everyone will praise me. May the grace of Him who was born of me and Mine reside with this icon.”
In the fifth century, the icon was moved from Jerusalem to Constantinople, and then in 1130 it was taken to Ruthenia. Placed in the female monastery of Vyshgorod, the icon of the Mother of God floated and stopped in the air two nights in a row. Seeing this, Prince Andrew wanted to export the icon secretly. Near Vladimir, the horses carrying the prince and the icon stopped and refused to move on. They served a molebe before the icon, and in a dream the Mother of God ordered not to carry the icon further, but to leave it in Vladimir. One Orthodox church was built in that city, where the icon was placed after its completion, and another stone church was built at the stopping place. Since then, the image of the Mother of God is called Vladimirskaya.
Many miracles began to happen at the icon, and it was this image that accompanied in many important events in the history of Rus and Russia.
* In 1164, the icon accompanied Prince Adrai Bogolubsky on an expedition against the Volga Bulgarians. When a mothership was served in front of the icon in gratitude for the victory, the icon and the Holy Cross shone with unbelievable brilliance before the eyes of all the soldiers.
* In 1185, the Church of the Dormition of the Mother of God in Vladimir burned down. However, the Mother of God saved her miraculous image from the elements.
The image of the Vladimir Mother of God is depicted in a way in which one can read the full compassion, concern, sorrow, and at the same time the beauty and depth of the divine mysteries.
