Modern Russian icon Madonna the Helper in Childbirth 31x27 cm. To facilitate childbirth (as well as for pregnancy and the education of children) women prayed to the Virgin Mary because she too, like a normal woman, experienced all these phases. The original of this icon was found in Bari, on the tomb of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, and for this reason named, in homage to its origin, Barbaskaya. In Russia, the icon became known in the 14th century and since then it has been the subject of Russia's historical-political turmoil. With the revolution, for example, religious relics suffered a devaluation and the icon ''Madonna Helper in childbirth'' was confiscated and then disappeared. Until 1924 it was Blagoveshchensk, since then its fate is unknown.
