Our Lady of Kazan
This icon is the oldest of all known copies of its miraculous original, unearthed in Kazan on July 8, 1579. In 1612 the miraculous icon was in the Russian army which delivered Moscow from Polish occupiers. The icon was considered to protect the Romanov dynasty, and became one of Russia's best-worshipped holy images during its reign. It is commemorated July 8, the day it was found, and October 22, the day of Moscow's deliverance. The icons of Our Lady of Kazan are traditionally small. An iconogaphic variant of the Hodegitria, it is mainly noted for the Child standing.
