Our Lady Of Kazan
Year : 1579
This miraculous icon was found in the ruins of a burnt-out house at Kazan on the River Volga in 1579. Before the revolution, perhaps still, sometimes, a Russian mother would give a copy of this picture to her daughter at her wedding, as a blessing on her and her new home.
There is a Russian feast of Mary under this title as a commemoration of its founding on July 8th. There are many replicas of this picture, of which the best known was in the church of Our Lady of Kazan at Moscow.
