In the half-length image, Christ holds the New Testament in his left hand and makes the gesture of teaching or of blessing with his right. Our Lady of Kazan is an icon of the Theotokos popular in Russia since the 16th century. 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 1552.Original file name Icons2.jpeg3600 x 2800Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
