I am extremely impressed with The Russian Store. From my initial email to them, they have been very responsive and knowledgeable. The relic I ordered arrived quickly and when promised. Along with the relic being very well packaged to avoid damage, I also received a Certificate of Authenticity that provides pertinent details and an accurate description of the relic. I will continue to use The Russian Store and have already recommended my friends and colleagues to them.

Мощи получил в целости и сохранности! Дай Бог здравия и благоденствия ребятам доставившим святыню в Россию! Ещё раз благодарю Вас за ту радость которую вы подарили мне и нашей обители в мощах святого Бенедикта. Храни Вас Христос!

I received the very beautiful Entombment icon on Good Friday. Our priest carried it in the procession with The Holy Shroud. It was a great blessing and especially to receive it on Good Friday and take to the church in perfect timing. Thank You again and again ?? for the holy icons!!

Икона - Богоматерь из Деисусного чина

Russian Icon - The Virgin Mary from the The Deesis Row

In Eastern Orthodox art, the Deisis (from the Greek for "prayer" or "supplication") is a traditional iconic representation of Christ in Majesty flanked by the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist, and sometimes other saints and angels. Mary and John, and any other figures, are shown facing Christ with their hands raised in supplication on behalf of humanity. The presence of Mary and John, and other figures, is one of the differences with the Western Christ in Majesty, where the Four Evangelists and/or their symbols are more commonly included around Christ. This icon, most likely, came from a private home's abridged iconostasis that consisted either of three (abridged row) or eleven (complete row) icons.
