The Icon of the Mother of God, named the "Sign" ("Znamenie"), depicts the Most Holy Mother of God seated with prayerfully uplifted hands at Her bosom, against the background of a circular shield (or sphere) –in blessing is the Divine Infant – the Savior-Emmanuel. This depiction of the Mother of God is regarded as among the very first of Her in icons. The Kursk-Root Znamenie Icon from Kursk, Russia, was miraculously saved from impending destruction by the atheistic soviet authorities. Taken to Europe and then the United States, this icon has been a source of great comfort for the Russian emigres who fled certain persecution and death. This is a copy of the miracle working icon which visited our parish.  Many miracles continue to occur for those who lovingly pray to the Theotokos before this icon.
