This handmade wooden icon represents one of the most revered images of the Theotokos in ancient Russian Orthodoxy — the “Great Panagia” or “Yaroslavl Oranta.” Based on a 12th–13th century miraculous image originally housed in the Transfiguration Cathedral of Yaroslavl, this icon embodies the eternal prayer and protection of the Virgin Mary.
Now preserved in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, the original is celebrated as a masterpiece of medieval Russian iconography. Our reproduction captures its grace, symbolism, and sacred presence in every detail.
