This day in Russian history - Today we honor the Korsun Icon of the Mother of Godtranslated

The prototype of the Korsun Icon of the Mother of God was kept in Ephesus and was painted by the holy evangelist Luke. In 988, on October 9, a copy of this icon was brought from Korsun to Kyiv by the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir and was called the Korsun Icon.
