You pay for:1 x Icon*****“Unbreakable Wall” icon of the Mother of God OrantaIconographyThe mosaic icon of 1037, which can be seen in the Hagia Sophia in Kyiv, is called the "Unbreakable Wall" and is an exact example of the Orans iconographic type.It was made by Byzantine craftsmen. The tradition of placing a monumental image of the Mother of God in the apse conch (the dome above the altar) is taken from the churches of Constantinople.The word "oranta" means "praying". Back in the days of the Roman Empire, when the catacombs were temples for the first Christians, figures with raised open palms were depicted on the walls. This gesture is called “adoration” and symbolizes the process of prayer performed by the soul.Meaning of the iconThe name of the mosaic icon “The Unbreakable Wall” arose among the people because of the ancient belief that “while the Mother of God raises her hands to the sky, Kyiv will stand” (reminiscent of Moses standing with his hands raised during the battle with the Amalekites (Is. 17: 1). K In addition, Prince Yaroslav the Wise built the Kiev Cathedral of St. Sophia in honor of the victory over the Pechenegs exactly on the spot where the decisive battle took place.The Mother of God stands motionless on a quadrangular foot-stone. The spirit of indestructibility felt from the holy image inspires hope in Her prayers to the Lord and protection from spiritual and visible enemies.A high-quality copy of the Kyiv Oranta, the icon of the Mother of God “The Indestructible Wall”, will not only decorate your home iconostasis, but will also fill you with firm faith and hope for the help of the Heavenly Intercessor.*****We send your Parcel via:UkrPosta Standart AirMail Servise with Track Number****** Stand with Ukraine.
