Theotokos of Kazan Hand Beaded Icon Wood Frame Natural Stones

Our Lady of Kazan is one of the most revered icons in the Orthodox Church. The image of Our Lady of Kazan is said to have come to Russia from Constantinople in the 13th century. After the Tatars besieged Kazan and made it the capital of their khanate in 1438, the icon disappeared, and it is not mentioned again until the 16th century, some years after the liberation of Kazan by Ivan the Terrible in the 1500's. According to tradition, a 10-year-old girl named Matrona received several visions and found the burial place of the icon in 1579.
