An unusual icon that represents the White Russian

An unusual icon that represents the White Russian experience.

In this unique composition, darkness is dispelled by light emanating from the Mother of God and shining upon White Russian ships evacuating from Crimea. The icon is bordered by a crown of thorns – a symbol of Russia’s suffering and the sacrifices made by those who fought against the Bolsheviks.

It is inscribed with a dedication to General Wrangel written by a certain Priest Peter, presumably the icon’s artist. It concludes with the refrain of an akathist hymn to the Mother of God: “Rejoice, luminous abode of homeless wanderers! [Радуйся, светлая обитель странников бездомных!]”

This icon is on view in our current exhibition "Revealing the Divine: Treasures of Russian Sacred Art."
