Bead embroidery pattern of icon "Saint Vladimir"

St. Volodymyr (Vladimir the Great) is one of the most famous saints in the Orthodox Church, a prince of Kievan Rus who played a key role in the baptism of Rus and the introduction of Christianity as the state religion. He was born in 958 and ruled the Kyiv principality from 980 to 1015. His baptism and conversion to Christianity became an important stage in the spiritual development of Rus'. The icon of St. Vladimir usually depicts him as a prince in a luxurious bishop's vestment, often with a cross in his hands, symbolizing his role as the Baptist of Rus. He can be depicted in princely vestments with a crown on his head, as well as with the image of a cross or the Gospel, which emphasizes his importance for the spread of Christianity. In some icons of St. Volodymyr, he is depicted against the backdrop of Kyivan churches or with the image of the Holy and Equal-to-the-Apostles, indicating his role as the person who brought the faith of Christ to the lands of Rus. In his hands he may hold an icon of the Mother of God or a cross, reflecting his devotion to Christ and the spread of Christianity among his people. Icons of St. Volodymyr often depict him in a solemn pose with an aura of holiness, which emphasizes his status not only as a state ruler but also as a holy equal to the Apostles who made a significant contribution to the spiritual development of his people.
