It is a colorful biblical icon with golden glare on a cardboard base, in brand new mint condition. The picture doesn't reflect all of the beauty and gold glimmer.

The Protection of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Evelike the Greekr-Virgin Mary, known in Church Slavonic as Pokrov, is a feast of the Mother of God celebrated in the Eastern Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic Churches. The feast celebrates the protection afforded the faithful through the intercessions  of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary). It is one of the most important feasts of the Orthodox liturgical year. In Russia it is celebrated as the most important solemnity after the Twelve Great Feasts. The feast is commemorated in Eastern Orthodoxy as a whole, but by no means as fervently as it is in Russia and Ukraine.

The Russian word Pokrov, like the Greek Skepe has a complex meaning. First of all, it refers to a cloak or shroud, but it also means protection or intercession. For this reason, the name of the feast is variously translated as the Veil of Our Lady, the Protecting Veil of the Theotokos, the Protection of the Theotokos, or the Intercession of the Theotokos. It is often translated as Feast of the Intercession.
