The devotion to this image was born in Russia by the healing of a woman on October 24, 1688 in Moscow. This icon was a goal for many pilgrims and sick people. In 1720, Tsar Peter the Great took one copy to the war against the Turks and another to his residence in Saint Petersburg. The Virgin, standing before the throne, receives the requests of the faithful. On high Christ the King.
