Description
South Russia, 19th century,
size 36 x 30 cm. The image on the icon of the Mother of God “Surety of Sinners” is as follows: the Mother of God is depicted to the waist, with Her left hand holding the Divine Infant, Who is clasping the Theotokos’ right hands with both His hands, as is customary when concluding an agreement. In the four corners of the icon is written: “I am the Surety of Sinners before My Son; He gave Me His hands for them, to hear Me out, so that those who bring me joy forthwith, will obtain eternal joy through Me.” How much comfort, how many happy promises for the faithful are contained within these words, that Christ “has given His hands,” i.e. has faithfully promised His Mother that He will always listen to Her entreaties!. This icon appeared in Russia, in one of the monasteries of the Orel diocese, and for a long time remained unknown and unattended in one of the chapels behind the monastery gates. The icon was so covered with grime and dust from the passage of time that the image could barely be discerned, while the inscription could not be deciphered at all. Provenance collection Fermany. Authenticity of every icon is guaranteed. Every icon is sold with extensive written expertise.
