Saw the article about the Don Icon feast in Rostov. My grandma had a small print of that same icon hanging in her bedroom back in Chicago, said it always reminded her of protection during tough times. Cool they keep the tradition going with a big celebration there.

In our parish there is also a copy of the Don icon, it stands in the side altar. I remember my grandmother praying in front of it when I had pneumonia as a child. It's nice to see that they celebrate it so solemnly in Rostov.
