The Uspensky Icon of the Mother of God is a revered Orthodox Christian icon, depicting the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child. This icon is significant in the Eastern Orthodox Church and is often associated with the feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos, which celebrates the death and assumption of Mary into heaven. The Uspensky Icon is particularly notable for its historical connection to the Uspensky Cathedral in Moscow, where it was housed. It is considered a symbol of protection and intercession, and many believers seek its blessings for guidance and support in their lives.
