Description

Rare Russian Icon. The centre image is the Blessed Silence Savior. The surrounding four motives are Mother of God the Softener of Evil Hearts, Holy prophet Moses and the miracle of “the Unburnt Bush”, Saint Nicholas and Saints Gurias, Samon and Habib. Rare iconography. Tempera on wood. Late 18th or early 19th Century. 35,5 x 31 cm. Originates from an old Danish icon collection.

Holy prophet Moses and the miracle of “the Unburnt Bush”: The icon is based on the miracle witnessed by Moses in the Old Testament. In the book of Exodus, God calls Moses on Mt. Horeb from the midst of a bush which "was burning, yet it was not consumed." The Church sees the Unburnt Bush on Horeb as a type of the Most Holy Theotokos, who gave birth to Christ while remaining a virgin. The earliest depictions of the Mother of God as the Unburnt Bush shows her holding her divine Son in the midst of a burning bush. The other Saint is possibly Holy Niketas.
