Item description from the seller

The Right-believing Igor prince of Chernigov accessed the throne in 1146. The citizens of Kiev not loving the dynasty of Olgovitch proved false to him and delivered him to Izyaslav prince of Pereyaslav who was originally proclaimed Grand Duke . Saint Igor renounced the earthly way of life and became a monk in the Theodore Monastery and received the ascetic name of Ignatius. On Septembe 19th, when a mob rebels removed him from the monastery while he was praying before the icon of The Mother of God, killed him brutally and dragged his body through the streets of Kiev. For this evil-doing, much misfortune fell on the inhabitants of Kiev, but candles were several times seen to light of themselves on the grave of this blessed monk, and a fiery column appeared over the church were he was buried. This was in 1147.

This fabulous icon has been created with the technique of lithography and has a double varnish to ensure waterproof and duration in time. The creator of this icon has learned the canonization of iconography in workshops of the Monasteries of Moscow Region, where he was taught both the technique of lithography and the process of handmade artificial ageing.
