"Богоматерь Благодатное Небо", Икона дворцовая ~ 1865-1900 г, 21,5 x 28,5 cm

«Что Тя наречем, о Благодатная? Небо, яко возсияла еси Солнце Правды; рай, яко прозябла еси цвет нетления; Деву, яко пребыла еси нетленна; Чистую Матерь, яко имела еси на святых Твоих объятиях Сына, всех Бога. Того моли спастися душам нашим»

What shall we call thee, O thou who art full of grace? Heaven, for from thee shone forth the Sun of righteousness? Paradise, for thou hast budded forth the Flower of immortality? Virgin, for thou hast remained undefiled? Pure Mother, for thou hast held in thy holy embrace thy Son, Who is God of all? Beseech him that our souls be saved.

Certain people call also this image of the Mother of God "What Name we Thee" ("Chto Tya narechem").

“RIGHTEOUS SIMEON OF VERKHOTURYE”, end of 19th century, (Ural, Verkhoturye?), wood-panel, grafija, tsekanka on levkas, silver, tempera, 26,6x22,2x2 cm

Saint Simeon of Verkhoturye was a nobleman, but he concealed his origin and led the life of a beggar. He walked through the villages and for free sewed half-coats and other clothes, primarily for the poor. The ascetic wandered much, but most often he lived at a churchyard of the village of Merkushinsk. St Simeon of Verkhoturye died in 1642, when he was 35 years of age. St Simeon worked many miracles after his death. He frequently appeared to the sick in dreams and healed them. A peculiarity of the saint's appearances was that with the healing of bodily infirmities, he also gave instruction and guidance for the soul.
