The Russian people have attributed to this icon several miracles of historical importance to Russia.

The icon was painted by an unknown artist probably in Constantinople (now Istanbul). Sent as a gift to Kiev before being transferred to the Assumption Cathedral in Vladimir, this icon is thought not to have left the city until 1395, when it was brought to Moscow to protect the city from an invasion. Certainly from the 16th century until the modern age, this icons was in the Dormition Cathedral is Moscow where it remained until it was moved to the State Tretyakov Gallery after the Russian Revolution. After an ownership dispute, it was finally relocated to the Church of Saint Nicholas in Tolmachi. The icon remains there today and is only accessible via an underground passage from the gallery to the church, where liturgies are still held.
