The Ultimate Spiritual Protector of the Family
The Icon of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos (Pokrov) depicts the miraculous 10th-century vision in Constantinople, when the Mother of God appeared during an all-night vigil, spreading her radiant veil (omophorion) over the faithful as a sign of divine shelter and intercession.
