The Cyprus (Stromyn) Icon
1st week of Great Lent
This
Icon is in the village church in Stromyn, in the Moscow Diocese. It depicts the
Mother of God with the Divine Infant Jesus Christ, seated on a throne. Flanking
her are two Angels holding scrolls. As the result of a vision an ill person had
in a dream, the Icon was found above the gates of the church courtyard, and the
ill person was healed. In the Moscow Church of St. Nicholas in Golutvina, on
Yakimansky Street, there is another greatly venerated copy of the Cyprus Icon of
the Mother of God.
