Description & properties

Bethlehem Icon of the Mother of God, Blessed on the Stone of Anointing By tradition the Bethlehem Icon of the Mother of God was painted by the holy Evangelist St. Luke within the lifetime of the Most Holy Mother of God and is Her most documentary depiction. This small icon pendant is a lithographed replica of the original kept at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, which stands where Salvator Mundi was born. The original Bethlehem icon was long kept in Constantinople, later brought to Chersonesus, and then translated to Novgorod’s Cathedral of St. Sophia by Vladimir the Great – grand prince of Kiev, who converted to Christianity. The venerated icon became famous for performing miracles and stayed in Russia until the revolution events in 1917. It was very carefully preserved and returned to Bethlehem by the Great-martyr Elizabeth Romanova. Today a fragment of her dress is used to decorate the icon plating. This icon is of Hodegetria type (literally “She who shows the Way”), with Mother of God pointing to Child Jesus. People pray before the Bethlehem Icon of the Mother of God to ask for healing, divine protection to family and friends, conceiving a child.
