SMALL DIPTYCH OF CHRIST THE TEACHER AND THE Iviron Theotokos or Iverskaya VIRGIN OF KAZAN

Perfect for private devotion - as travel icons

Christ is the Giver of the Law and the Virgin of Kazan is our intercessor and protector

An elegant gold and silver foil diptych of Christ Pantocrator with the Kazan Mother of God.

Christ is the King, Ruler and Judge if All. Christ is pictured with an open book of Gospels with the text in Slavonic from St Mathew: 28:30.

" Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for

I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Here the Virgin boldly presents Her Son to all believers. The Virgin of Kazan is one of the most beloved icons of the Theotokos in both the Christian East and West. Typically the Virgin of Kazan is historically known as the "protectress" of the Russian faithful - she protected them in the City of Kazan, in Moscow and during the siege of St Petersburg. She is known as a refuge for pilgrims and sinners at the Roman Catholic Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima where an icon of the Virgin of Kazan was venerated for many years.
