The "Unfading Bloom" Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. On this icon, the Most Holy Theotokos holds Her Divine Son upon Her right arm, and in her left hand is a bouquet of white lilies. This bouquet symbolically signifies the unfading flower of virginity and spotlessness of the All-Pure Virgin, Whom the Church hymns: "Thou art the Root of virginity and the Unfading Blossom of purity." Copies of this icon were glorified at Moscow, Voronezh, and other places in Russia.

Many Orthodox icons of the Mother of God “The Unfading Flower,” including the Russian icon at the top of this post, are additionally decorated with flowers in the form of a garland framing the icon. Flowers can also be depicted in various baskets and vases placed in the background. Such an abundance of flowers in Orthodox icons of this type is a symbol of purity and integrity, so it is no wonder that this amazing Russian icon is used by Christian believers when praying for love, family happiness, peace, and healing.
