Symbolism and application of the item

The Icon of Our Lady of the Sign is the term for a particular type of icon of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary), facing the viewer directly, depicted either full length or half, with her hands raised in the orans position, and with the image of the Child, Jesus depicted within a round aureole upon her breast. The icon depicts the Theotokos during the Annunciation at the moment of saying, "May it be done to me according to your word."(Luke 1:38). The depiction of the Virgin Mary with her hands upraised in prayer ("orans") is of very ancient origin in Christian art. Icons of the Virgin, known as "The Sign", appeared in Russia during the 11th to 12th centuries. This icon is famous for its miracles, especially for saving the old city of Novgorod. Those, who wear bracelets and necklaces, made from the beads with the image of this icon are under the protection of Mother of God.
