"Богоматерь Благодатное Небо", Икона дворцовая ~ 1865-1900 г, 21,5 x 28,5 cm

«Что Тя наречем, о Благодатная? Небо, яко возсияла еси Солнце Правды; рай, яко прозябла еси цвет нетления; Деву, яко пребыла еси нетленна; Чистую Матерь, яко имела еси на святых Твоих объятиях Сына, всех Бога. Того моли спастися душам нашим»

What shall we call thee, O thou who art full of grace? Heaven, for from thee shone forth the Sun of righteousness? Paradise, for thou hast budded forth the Flower of immortality? Virgin, for thou hast remained undefiled? Pure Mother, for thou hast held in thy holy embrace thy Son, Who is God of all? Beseech him that our souls be saved.
