Handmade leather-bound edition "Miraculous icons series of 3 books"

An Orthodox icon in the family

The book is dedicated to Russian Orthodox family icons, the main symbol of the world order. The authors trace the centuries-old tradition of icon veneration, which is an integral part of the life of every Orthodox Christian from birth and throughout the world. The icon is a faithful guide for an Orthodox person in his studies, in his work, in military service, in joy, in sorrow, in sickness and on his deathbed. The family icon has long been passed from hand to hand from father to son, from grandfather to grandson, because it unites the generations of the family, spiritually unites. The family icon was used by pious parents to bless children for discipleship, adults for service; the bride and groom were blessed with it if they agreed to the wedding. The family icon confirms and strengthens the unity, because all family members pray for their parents, for their children and loved ones, and for themselves. The Mother of God, the Ever-Virgin Mary, our Intercessor, Patroness and Comforter, occupies a special place in the life of an Orthodox Christian.

Holy Warriors

The book is about great Orthodox saints, great martyrs who performed military and spiritual feats in the name of the Faith of Christ and for the salvation of the Motherland. The firmness of beliefs, military exploits, supreme valor, self-sacrifice and heroism of the Russian Orthodox soldiers who laid down their lives for Faith and Fatherland cannot fail to admire. 

The Image of the Most Holy Theotokos

The book provides a brief overview with numerous illustrations of Orthodox icons of the Mother of God. The authors trace the centuries-old tradition of icon veneration of the Mother of God in Russia, which is an integral part of the life of every Orthodox Christian. The image of the Queen of Heaven is a faithful guide for an Orthodox person in teaching, in work, in military service, in joy, in sorrow, in sickness, and on his deathbed. 
St. Andrew of Crete said this about the Most Pure Virgin in his "Homily on the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos.": "You are truly all good, and there is no vice in You (Cantos 4, 7). You are the new tabernacle of the inexhaustible world, You are the smoking of intelligent perfumes, You are the Color of incorruption, the Earth that brings incense, the life-giving Ark, the luminous lamp, the God-woven porphyry, the royal robe, the God-decorated robe, the golden robe, the high throne, the gates that exceed the Heavens of heaven, the Queen of the entire human race, Who is above everything except The one God. Which hands will bury You? In what arms will we carry the One Who carried the Incorrigible? What kind of funeral prayer will we make over You? With what songs shall we sing of Your exodus? In what words can we express the greatness of the past about You?.. Instead, we will only say: "Blessed are You among women and from generation to generation! Blessed are You in heaven and glorified on earth! Everyone praises You with thanksgiving, confessing You to be the Mother of Life. The whole earth is filled with Your glory, everything is sanctified by the peace of Your fragrance..." 
Thanks to You, the sorrows of the foremother have changed to joy. Thanks to You, all the Angels are singing with us: glory in the highest, peace on earth!"
