	Vladimir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The neighboring town of Suzdal, for instance, was mentioned in 1024, and yet its 12th century inhabitants alluded to Vladimir as a young town and treated its rulers with arrogance.
		In the seniority conflicts of the 12th and early 13th centuries, Vladimir was repeatedly described as a "young town" compared to Suzdal and Rostov.
		After the Mongols, Vladimir never fully recovered, and even though it remained capital through the middle of the 14th century and continued as the seat of the metropolitans of Russia, it gradually lost its political significance to the new principalities of Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod.

	The Daily Writer: Windows to Heaven
		The Vladimir Theotokos, which represents the Hodigitria type of icon, was painted in Byzantium – probably in Constantinople- at the end of the eleventh century.
		The Vladimir Theotokos is an excellent example of painting from the golden age of Byzantium, whose art is characterised by ‘dignity and graciousness, restraint and balance, an undisturbed refinement and harmony with religious emotion,’ according to Byzantologist A A Vasiliev.
		The particular compositional type upon which the Vladimir Theotokos icon is based is known as the icon of Lovingkindness (in Russian Umileniie), a translation of the Greek Eleousa, which carries connotations of mercy, compassion, pity and tenderness.

		Relying on the intercession of saints who were resplendent in Vladimir land by their achievement of faith and piety, martyrdom and confession, and the venerated miracle working icons and other sacred shrines, churches, and monasteries, with faith, hope, and love, continue to testify worthily to the unsurpassable beauty and truth of Orthodoxy.

		A co-worker from Bulgaria came over to buy some old math books and noticed the ikons on my desk.
		They're both reproductions, one of the Russian Theotokos of Vladimir, the other an ikon of Mary and Christ with stylized crosses in the background and Christ holding a scroll with what looks like some sort of Slavic writing.
		They speak to me in a way that that old apotheosis of 1970's liturgical art, the felt-applique banner, doesn't.

	Gypsy Scholar: January 1, 2006: Feast Day of Mary, Mother of God
		But this has moved rather far along a tangent, and I've commited today's blog entry to Mary since this is her official feast day.
		Because Mary is called the "Mother of God," I've chosen for today's image the Vladimir Theotokos (1131), a madonna-and-child icon housed in Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery, which also holds the even older Theotokos of Blachernae (7th century).
		Both of these icons come from the hands of Greek Orthodox artists and have ended up in the hands of Russian Orthodox believers, and I could have chosen a Catholic image, but celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas makes for a time of ecumenism.

		The Eastern Orthodox view of the origin of icons is quite different from that of mainstream scholarship and even from the contemporary Roman Catholic view: "''The Orthodox Church maintains and teaches that the sacred image has existed from the beginning of Christianity''" (Leonid Ouspensky, ''Theology of the Icon'', St. Vladimir's Seminary Press, 1978).
		Accounts that non-Orthodox writers consider legends are, within Eastern Orthodoxy, accepted as history, because they are a part of Church Tradition.
