For Sale Russian Antique IconSterling Silver with EnamelsThe Svensk-Pechersk Icon of the Mother of God was painted by the Monk Alypius of Pechersk († around 1114, commemorated August 17). The icon depicts the Mother of God sitting on a throne, with the Divine Infant on Her lap. To the right of the throne stands the Monk Theodosius , and to the left is the Monk Anthony of Pechersk. Until 1288, it was in the Kiev-Pechersk Monastery, where it became famous for its miracles, and in 1288 it was transferred to the Bryansk Svensky Monastery, in honor of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as follows. Prince Roman Mikhailovich of Chernigov, while in Bryansk, became blind. Having heard about the miracles from the icon painted by the Monk Alypius himself, the prince sent a messenger to the monastery with a request to send an icon to him in Bryansk for healing. The icon was sent along with the priest along the Desna River. During the voyage, the boat landed on the right bank of the Svenya River. After spending the night, the travelers went to the boat in the morning to pray to the icon, but did not find it there, but saw it on a mountain opposite the Svenya River. The icon stood on an oak tree between the branches.
