The Fátima icon of Mother of God, also called Our Lady of Fatima— venerated icon of Mother of God, created in Saint-Petersburg in 2006[1]. It is a holy icon of the highest stature within the Russian Catholic Church of the Byzantine Rite (Russian Byzantine Catholic Church) and within Roman Catholic Churchin Russia.
Its feast is celebrated on the 13th of July[2]. On this day, the significant apparition of Mother of God took place in Fatima, Portugal. Then Mother of God began to speak of Russia in the 20th century as a country that will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church, as well as of the coming conversion of Russia, which was destined to be fulfilled after Saint Pope John Paul II consecrated Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady on 25th of March in 1984.
Iconography. The origins of the type
[edit]In its iconography the Fatima icon goes back to The Virgin of Tenderness (The Eleusa), especially — to icon of The Eleusa of saint Seraphim, where Mother of God is also depicted without Infant Jesus.
The iconography of the Fatima icon was influenced by two main types: the image of Our Lady of Fatima, which is located in a small chapel. built on the site of the apparitions (Capelinha) and the image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Coimbra. This last one had the greatest influence on the creation of the Fatima icon, because it was most consistent with the iconography of the Virgin Mary in relation to the dedication of Russia to the Immaculate Heart.
