Description
In the "Donskaya" icon, the Infant Christ stands barefoot—a symbol of God's humility and His taking on the "form of a bondservant". The God-Child’s feet rest on his mother’s left hand, symbolising the footstool, while her open right palm supports his body like a throne.
The position of Mary’s hands and the figure of Christ symbolise the enthronement of the King – God incarnate. The Christ Child blesses the entire Church through the figure of the Theotokos with his right hand. In his left hand, he holds a scroll-like book.
Tradition attributes the icon to Theophanes the Greek, who painted it for the Assumption Cathedral in Kolomna in the late 14th century.
When the Don Cossacks gifted the icon to Prince Dmitri Donskoy, it became known as the "Donskaya." On 8 September 1380, the day of the Battle of Kulikovo, it was carried before the Russian army as a banner. Afterwards, it was taken to Moscow.
In 1591, during the Crimean Tatars’ invasion of Moscow, the icon was placed in a field chapel. Constant prayers were offered before the image, and miraculously, Moscow was delivered from the foe.
The icon’s feast day is 19 August / 1 September.
