The acquisition of the icon of the Kazan Mother of God

In the summer of 1579, the daughter of archer Daniil Onuchin, nine-year-old Matrona, dreamed of an icon of the Mother of God in a dream. Then she appeared in a dream The Most Holy Theotokos of Kazan... The Mother of God told the girl that Her icon was on the ashes of the house of Matrona's parents, ordered to convey this to the archbishop and governors. I must say that the summer of 1579 turned out to be incredibly difficult for Kazan: after a terrible destructive fire, half of the city turned to ash.

The girl's mother did not listen to her daughter's words, and then the Most Holy Theotokos appeared to Matrona again in a dream. She ordered the girl to tell about Her appearance. However, the mother again did not listen to the words of her daughter. After some time, miraculously, during a dream, Matrona was transferred from the house to the middle of the courtyard. Here again the icon of the Kazan Mother of God appeared to her, with fiery rays emanating from the face.

During the procession, the miraculous icon showed its miracles for the first time: two blind men from Kazan received their sight. History has preserved their names, they were Joseph and Nikita.

The list of the Kazan icon was sent to Moscow, and at the place of its appearance, by order of Ivan the Terrible, a church and a nunnery were built.

During the Great Patriotic War, the Most Holy Theotokos appeared to Ilia Salib, the Metropolitan of the Lebanese mountains. Rooting with all his soul for the Russian people, for several days and nights, without food and water, he fervently prayed to the Intercessor. Elijah asked the Mother of God to reveal how the country could be saved.

After three days of vigil, the Most Holy Theotokos appeared before him and commanded: open all closed churches, release the priests from prisons, encircle the icon with a procession of the cross around Leningrad, and serve prayers in Moscow and Stalingrad.

Stalin promised to fulfill everything, since there was no other way of salvation. Everything happened exactly as predicted.

Can everyone embroider icons with beads?

Doubts and disputes about the feasibility and possibility of embroidering icons by an ordinary person have been present for a very long time.

Even among the priests there is no consensus on this matter, although most of them bless their parishioners for handicrafts for the glory of the name of God.

Archpriest Alexander Saltykov, Dean of the Faculty of Church Arts, PSTGU, believes:

“There can be no ill intention in embroidering an icon image, but a needlewoman must receive a blessing. Maybe this will be the first step to deepen into spiritual life. "
Secular art critics argue about the degree of observance of church traditions and about the measure of high art in such creations. After all, the old church sewing was carried out taking into account the canons of theology under the control of the Church. And modern commercial offers are often downright kitsch.

Only personal spiritual experience craftswomen will allow you to distinguish real church art from popular prints. If you have a desire to embroider an icon image, then you must first of all think about its purpose.

Do not embroider if you are in a bad mood, angry, or offended. After finishing work it is recommended to consecrate the icon in the temple for cleansing and filling with divine energy. Only canonical images are allowed to be consecrated in the Church.

Bead embroidery is carried out:

You can create stitches on the canvas using one bead at a time or several at once by making a small column. It all depends on the bead embroidery technique you choose.

Her robes are adorned with marguerite in various sizes and colors. It must be placed very tightly to each other so that there are no gaps. After reviewing photos and videos on embroidery, you can decide on a way of work that is convenient for you.


Having inserted the canvas into the tapestry hoop and work through the first row of the diagram from the top from the left corner. Before that, step back five centimeters from the edge of the canvas. Choose the direction for yourself, it can be both vertical and horizontal. But the principle of embroidery of the icon of the Kazan Mother of God remains the same - the stitches are made in rows. String beads of different colors according to the scheme. beaded stitching is interrupted due to the fact that the turn of the image of the drawn elements, such as the face and hands, has come, it is necessary to break the thread. There should be no constrictions on the seamy side, they contribute to the distortion of the embroidered icon. There is another way to secure the thread. Sew the last beads in the row several times, and hide the remaining edge in the next stitch. Do not under any circumstances make a knot.

Since ancient times, there has been embroidery using pearls. Needlewomen strung one by one per thread and sewed them with a seam. Basically, in this way, the halo of the saint was decorated. Nowadays, stones with imitation of pearls are used, which looks no less beautiful. The embroidery of the halo starts from the outer edge of the icon, so it turns out to be beautiful and even. Get creative and combine pearls with beads and sequins. After that, it will look delicate.

If this is not done, we can assume that this is just embroidery with a religious theme, and not a real icon.
