Icon of the Mother of God “The Unfading Bloom”
Moscow, Russia
In the icon of “the Unfading Bloom”, the Mother of God holds her Divine Son upon her right arm, and in her left hand is a bouquet of white lilies. These flowers symbolically signify the unfading flower of virginity and spotlessness of the All-Pure Virgin, whom the Church hymns: “Thou art the Root of virginity and the Unfading Blossom of purity.”
Miraculous copies of this icon are found at Moscow, Voronezh. And other places in Russia.
