The miraculous icon of the Unburnt Thornbush (Neopalimaya Kupina) was highly venerated in Russia as a protection from fire. Virgin Mary is depicted in the central position in this rose-shaped mandala. She is in the center with her child; about her are numbers of angels, who are the powers in nature that control such elements as lightning, thunder, and fire. Beyond the rosette, in the four corners of the icon, are four scenes that show noted Old Testament prefigurations of Mary. The points of the eight-pointed “slava” (“Glory”) represent divine light and the Eighth day of Creation, the Day of Eternity. Eight angels in the “petals” of the rose represent the forces behind the elements of nature, the hidden powers that control the weather and relate also to the apocalyptic end of the world.
