Oh, is this the icon that was rediscovered on the outside of a church, having been hidden during the long dark of Communism?
May God bless Russia, and may she be always consecrated.
Fascinating glimpse of another culture. Thanks for posting.

Wikipedia article on the Icon (for those who only know of "Kursk" as a WWII tank battle between the Red Army and the Wehrmacht, or a Russian submarine named for that battle).

They apparently got it out of Russia before the commies seized power. Good thing, commies might have destroyed it.
