Item description from the seller

The Icon of the Saviour, Image Not-Made-By-Hands, also Acheiropoieta (Byzantine Greek: "made without hand") is one of the earliest icons witnessed to by the Church. The feast of this icon – the Third Feast-of-the-Saviour - is celebrated on August 16, following the feast of the Dormition. In 944 the Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus (912-59) requested that the Image be brought to the Capital of the Orthodox. With great honour the Image of the Saviour Not-Made-By-Hands was brought by the clergy to Constantinople and on August 16 was placed in the Pharos Church of the Most-Holy Theotokos. In the Upper Room in Jerusalem, after Christ’s Death and Resurrection, there was no text of The New Testament. However, there was an icon – the Prototypical Icon of the Christ The Saviour Acheiropoietos – the Burial Shroud of the Lord; tradition identifies this as The Image (Not-Made-By-Human-Hands).
