Our Lady of Kazan is a holy icon of the highest stature within the Russian Orthodox Church and is considered a palladium of Russia for centuries until its theft and likely destruction in 1904. The icon represents the Virgin Mary as the protector and patroness of the city of Kazan. It is a close-up variant of the Hodegetria (Directress) style, it is noted mainly for the Child standing, with the Virgin chest length. The Kazan icons are traditionally small, following the original. The Kazan icon was very popular in Russia, especially as a wedding gift, and many copies were made in the design of the original. Two major Kazan Cathedrals, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, are consecrated to Our Lady of Kazan, as are numerous churches throughout the land. Her feast days are July 21 and November 4.
The Theotokos is depicted in the iconography of Our Lady of Kazan is covered by a parcel-gilt silver revetment cover and held in the original glass-fronted shadowbox kiot frame that was restored to near-perfect condition. It is stamped with a ca. 1880s silver town mark for Moscow and a workmaster's initials mark ФМ for a well-known silversmith, Feodor Mishukov.
