19th C. Russian Icon - The Virgin as Unexpected Joy

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $250**

Eastern Europe, Russia, ca. 19th century CE. Finely painted in egg tempera on wood, this small icon depicts a sinner kneeling before an image of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Christ. While pondering a malevolent action, the image of the Mother of God was brought to life, and the hands of Jesus began to bleed. The sinner, upon inquiring about why the infant's hands bled, was given two explanations by the Virgin Mother: that sinners like himself acting upon their evil ways caused her son's repeated crucifixion; and that the joy of Heaven was far greater for one repentant sinner than for that of ninety-nine virtuous individuals. Not only did these answers absolve him of his past misdeeds, but the sudden bliss overtook him with emotion and a personal vow of piety. Size: 2.75" W x 3.4" H (7 cm x 8.6 cm).
