• Prince Peter and Princess Fevronia of Murom, Sts, with scenes from their lives

    In the center is an image of Peter and Fevronia dressed in monastic clothes praying to Emmanuel. A relatively small central part of the icon is surrounded by 32 large border scenes. The icon borders are covered with metallic basma with the ornamentation, typical of the first half of the 17th century. The border scenes cycle doesn’t reproduce any redaction of the Tale of Peter and Fevronia but is close to its Second redaction and the redaction by Patriarch Hermogen.
  • Council of Murom’s Wonderworkers

    The icon represents six praying wonderworkers – Murom’s Princes Constantine, Michael and Fedor, Peter and Fevronia dressed in clerical clothes, and the righteous Juliania Lazarevskaya. All the saints look in the direction of Christ in the clouds. On either side of Him are the images of the sun and the moon. The composition includes an image of Murom’s kremlin with a five-domed Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God, a tent-roofed bell-tower and the river Oka flowing under the wooden walls. This sort of panoramas, widespread in the Russian iconography of the 17th – 18th centuries, symbolized the patronage and protection the saints extended to the city or the hermitage by eternally praying to the Lord for them.
