Story of this Icon
St. Nicetas, Bishop of Novgorod, entered on the solitary life unprepared and against the counsel of his abbot, and soon he heard a voice praying with him. Then “the Lord” spoke to him and sent an “angel” to pray in his place and to instruct him to read books instead of praying, and to teach those who came to him. This he did, always seeing the “angel” near him praying, and the people were astonished at his spiritual wisdom and the “gifts of the Holy Spirit” which he seemed to possess, including “prophecies” which were always fulfilled. The deceit was uncovered only when the fathers of the monastery found out about his aversion for the New Testament (although the Old Testament, which he had never read, he could quote by heart), and by their prayers he was brought to repentance, his “miracles” ceased, and later he attained to genuine sanctity.
-Written by Saint Seraphim Rose (Orthodoxy & the Religion of the Future)

Lovely icon. Very well made and pleasant to look at.
Beautiful icon, carving and gold leaf done perfectly. The image not made by hands is a must-have. Engraving of the Jesus prayer on the back is the cherry on top.
This is a beautiful addition to my prayer altar. The simplicity and workmanship and expression of the Holy Mother is gorgeous.
I love these icons, they fit perfectly in my room.
