The Kazan Mother of God is one of the most revered Orthodox icons. Its history begins in 1579, when, according to legend, the icon was discovered in the ashes left by a fire in the Kazan Kremlin. Many healings are attributed to the icon during the procession in honor of its finding. This story struck Ivan the Terrible and he ordered a cathedral to be erected in honor of the miraculous icon and a convent to be founded. It is believed that thanks to the intercession of Our Lady of Kazan, victory was won over the Poles in 1611.
The Kazan Mother of God is prayed for support in difficult times, and those who marry are blessed with this icon.
