Antique Russian Silver Travel Icon Pendant of Our Lady of the Sign, Panagia

About the Item

One of the most sacred and revered images of the Virgin, the iconography refers to an event which took place on November 27th, 1165 during the assault on the city of Novgorod. In an effort to save the city, the citizens of Novgorod brought the icon of Our Lady of the Sign to the city wall and when one of the arrows struck the icon, tears formed on the image. The Bishop of Novgorod proclaimed that this was a sign that the Virgin was entreating her Son to spare the city. Novgorod was spared and the image, known as Znamenie, became highly venerated in Russia as a powerful protection symbol. This beautiful travel icon was created to be worn as a pendant for protection during travelling. It is solid silver with a wonderful detailed image of the Virgin and her Son. Lovely smooth patina.
