Painted with tempera on panel, this sacred image depicts the revered Virgin Mary, also known as Madonna or Pochaevskaya Mother of God, alongside Jesus Christ. The origins of this iconic piece are steeped in legend and faith. According to ancient tales, on a fateful day in April 1198, a devoted monk ascended Mount Pochaev for his customary prayers. To his astonishment, a pillar of fire materialized before him. As the flames subsided, he witnessed the ethereal presence of Blessed Mother herself atop the mount. When she vanished from sight, an extraordinary imprint remained embedded in the rock - her right foot forever imprinted upon it. This miraculous event solidified Mount Pochaev's significance as a holy site and became an enduring symbol for countless believers. Adorned with regal crowns and surrounded by narrative scenes depicting various saintly figures, this masterpiece radiates divine grace and spiritual power. Its intricate details and vibrant colors capture both religious devotion and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring print today, we are transported back to that momentous encounter between man and apparition – an encounter that has inspired generations to seek solace and guidance from Our Lady of Pochaev throughout history.
