19th Century Russian Icon of The Burning Bush
On wood panel. The Burning Bush, also known as the Unburnt Bush, represents one of the Old Testament images of the Holy Mother. According to the Church tradition, Moses, who was just a shepherd at that time, witnessed a thorn tree enveloped by the fire but not burning to a crisp. This extraordinary event marked the immaculate conception of Jesus Christ – the Virgin Mary conceived the future Savior by the Holy Spirit. Despite becoming the Mother, she still was a virgin and remained pure even after the birth of the Messiah. Such an incredible story laid the basis for the creation of one of the most revered depictions of the Mother of God – the Burning Bush icon.
12.25 x 10 inches
