Saint Simeon of Verkhoturye was a nobleman, but he concealed his origin and led the life of a beggar. He walked through the villages and for free sewed half-coats and other clothes, primarily for the poor. The ascetic wandered much, but most often he lived at a churchyard of the village of Merkushinsk. St Simeon of Verkhoturye died in 1642, when he was 35 years of age. St Simeon worked many miracles after his death. He frequently appeared to the sick in dreams and healed them. A peculiarity of the saint's appearances was that with the healing of bodily infirmities, he also gave instruction and guidance for the soul.

Icon "DO NOT MOURN FOR ME MOTHER", Russia
"DO NOT MOURN FOR ME MOTHER", the 18/19th century, wood (linden?), gesso, tempera. North Russian school (old-believers)? Icon is in very good condition and has collectible value.755x580x40 mm
The image of “Do not mourn for me Mother” portrays the events of Passion Week, described in the Gospels (Matthew, 27.57-61; Mark, 15.42-47; Luke 23.50-56; John, 19,31-42).
After the Crucifixion of Jesus Chris and His Death on the Cross, Christ`s body was taken by the disciples Nicodemus and the noble Joseph of Arimathaea, wrapped in linen with fragrance, and placed “in the grave”-a cave carved out of the rock face. Although the evangelical texts do not tell of the Virgin`s presence at the Entombment, in the church tradition she always portrayed at the burial of her Son.
The tragic meaning of the icon is reflected in the canon widely read before the image at matins on Great Saturday before Easter. In the sixth song of the canon, the Virgin says: “I see you, the lover of mankind, dead, reviving the dead, and containg all; my womb hurts fiercely. I would die with you, - she said with purity, - because I can not stand to see you dead and breathless.” This composition of the Entombment depicts only the Mother of God and Christ, called according to the introductory text of the Great Saturday canon “Do not mourn for me, Mother, seeing me in the tomb, for I shall arise and be eternally glorified as God. I shall exalt all who magnify you in faith and in love.
This mourning theme got swing first in Byzantium and oldrussian art. Image of “Do not mourn for me mother" is first used in Novgorod 1380. Probably the image has been formated in free interpretation of three images “The Crucifixion”, “The descent from the cross” and “The Entombment”.
”Основы иконографии древнорусской живописи“ Ю.Г. Бовров, 1995.
The style of painting of this icon is characteristic of Northen Russia school.
The Northern Russian School can be described as a local, provincial, and archaizing school, which is often affected by folk art of the North.
Characteristic to the icons is jewel-like painting in luscious colors with incredible detail. Old icon themes continued to be chosen as subjects, but many painters liked to pick new and obscure subjects for their painting. Painters liked to show off their bravura technique with crowed scenes, fantastic architecture and highly decorated clothing on their figures. This style was most claimed in North Russia.
