ICON OF IVERSK MOTHER OF GOD, 23x18cm (Czech and Japanese beads 8/0, 11/0, 15/0). Bead stitching on print, Authorial selection of beads color. 2010
I gave this icon to the Church of St. Fyodor Ushakov in St. Petersburg in 2010. It has it's own story... one day after the service ended, a young Oriental woman in a hijab came to an empty temple. She told the candler that she had been married for several years, and they had no children, despite the expensive treatment. And now the last hope brought her to the temple. The woman asked which icon can I pray to? The candler was surprised – the church is Orthodox, who will you pray to? God is one for all, the woman said, and knelt down and prayed for a long time in front of the icon of the Iveron mother of God... a year Later, this woman again came to the temple. She handed the candle a bill of 5 thousand rubles and asked to put a candle in front of the icon. I have no change, said the candler. The woman answered that change is not necessary and left the temple…
