The first-ever icon of the Virgin of the Burning Bush was painted circa 1547, but, unfortunately, it hasn’t survived to the present day. In the featured picture, you can see a unique piece of Russian iconography, which stands as a direct copy of the original icon. It was created circa 1598. More than that, it is a double-sided icon, and you are viewing its back side, which was inspired by the Old Testament story where God revealed Himself to Moses through the bush that was on fire but was not consumed by the flames. The icon painter is unknown.

Today we celebrate the Holy Prophet Moses. Prophet Moses was born in a time where any male child was killed in fear of overtaking the Egyptian throne. Being saved by his mother, she floated him in a basket in the Nile River and he was rescued by the Pharaoh's daughter who raised him as his own. At 80 years of age, Moses fled to Mount Sinai where he received the 10 Commandments from God himself. He then led the nation of Israel out of Egypt by foot, crossing the Red Sea as if on dry land. Moses led his people for 40 years in the desert but died before they reached the promised land. During his life and even up until now, the Prophet Moses continues to perform many miracles. May he intercede for us always + #prophet #moses #saint #prophetmoses #egypt #nile #river #nileriver #pharaoh #pharaosdaughter #israel #sinai #redsea #tencommandments #10commandments #commandments #burningbush #nation #holy #miracle #miracles #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Sinai Peninsula) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiDs7hsPnG1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We have a few Burning Bush right outside the front window. The berries and hulls make interesting designs, especially when complemented with water droplets. . . . #macrophotography #macro #burningbush #botany #fall #autumn #yourshotphotographer #ourfotoworld #originalphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/B5u1UYiFuEP/?igshid=hbg9g453wus2
