Bead embroidery pattern of icon "Mother of God of Jerusalem"

The Icon of the Mother of God "Jerusalem" is one of the famous icons in Orthodox Christianity. It depicts the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus in her arms, sitting on a throne, and behind her shoulders you can often see the wall of the Jerusalem Temple, symbolizing the Holy City - Jerusalem, which is an important place in Christian doctrine. This icon got its name because of its origin: it has a connection with Jerusalem, where the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ lived part of their lives. The icon symbolizes the theological idea that the Virgin Mary is not only the Mother of Jesus, but also the Mother of all mankind, the Mother of the Church. The peculiarity of the "Jerusalem" icon is its clear emphasis on the grace emanating from the Mother of God, her peaceful and gentle appearance, which calms and provides spiritual support in difficulties.

It is a symbol of the patronage and intercession of the Virgin Mary before God's judgment. The Jerusalem icon is important for Orthodox Christians, and is often used in prayer practice to strengthen faith and turn to the Virgin Mary for help in difficult situations. Sometimes this image is also called "Oranta" (i.e. praying), when the Virgin Mary is depicted with her hands raised in a prayerful gesture.
