Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker and Bishop of Myra (270 - 343), was a historic 4th-century Saint and Greek Bishop of Myra. Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nikolas the Wonderworker.

The Coronation of the Virgin is a popular subject of the Eastern Orthodox icons, specifically in the Russian Orthodox Church after the 18th century. The New Testament Trinity comprised of Christ, accompanied by God the Father and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, is shown while placing a crown on the head of Mary as Queen of Heaven. The coronation of the Virgin Mary as the Queen of Heaven, according to the Church doctrine, is one of the episodes included in the cycle of the Ascension of the Mother of God and the last episode of Her life, which took place immediately after the Ascension. The coronation of the Virgin Mary is celebrated by the Catholic Church on August 22. In Orthodoxy, there is only the feast of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary.
Our Lady of Tikhvin (Tikhvinskaya) is one of the most celebrated and beautiful wonderworking icons of the Mother of God. Traditionally, it is said to be one of the icons painted by Saint Luke the Evangelist and is a contemporary of the Mother of God herself. The appearance of the icon is celebrated on June 26. The icon has a long history. During the Soviet oppression of the Orthodox Church, the original Theotokos of Tikhvin icon was brought to the USA for safekeeping. In 2004 it was transferred back to Russia to return to its home village of Tikhvin. In the iconographic sense, it is a Hodigitria type with the slightly inclined position of the Mother of God toward the Infant, Who is depicted on the left side of the image. The hand of the Mother of God is raised toward her breast as a sign of silent worship of her Son.

This icon reflects the Gospel scene of Christ's Blessing of Children: “They brought children to Him so that He would touch them, but the disciples did not allow those who brought them. Seeing this, Jesus was indignant and said to them: Let the children come to Me and do not hinder them, for to such is the Kingdom of God. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will not enter it. And, embracing them, he laid his hands on them and blessed them (Mark 10:13-16).
