Ancient icon Unburnt Bush Russia 19th century.Ancient Mother of God icon dating back to the early 19th century, painted on a 31.5x26.5 cm board and from Moscow, Russia.The Mother of God of the Burning Bush is an icon linked to a Christological and Marian reading of the miracle witnessed by Moses in the Old Testament. In the third chapter of the Exodus Moses is on Mount Horeb when he hears God calling him from a bush that burned without being consumed, and he hears the Word even before his incarnation.The burning bush thus becomes a metaphor and prophecy of the virginal conception of Christ made man. The bush is Mary, an earthly body but struck by the flames of light and divine grace which are not consumed and which, although unsustainable, do not annihilate it, but leave it intact.This Mother of God the Unburnt Bush icon is delivered with export documents and the expertise of a Russian Cultural Heritage.
