Matryoshka Enamel Russian Doll Pendant Sterling Silver 925 Gold Plated & Enamel. Scenes from the life of Christ, images of Jesus with the Virgin, images of the events recorded in the gospels are depicted as religious icons and are in the hands of millions of people all over the world.

As a general rule, icons strictly followed models and formulas hallowed by Byzantine art, led from the capital in Constantinople. As time passed, the Russians widened the vocabulary of types and styles far beyond anything found elsewhere in the Orthodox world.

The personal, innovative and creative traditions of Western European religious art were largely lacking in Russia before the 17th century when Russian icon painting became strongly influenced by religious paintings and engravings from both Protestant and Catholic Europe. In the mid-17th-century changes in liturgy and practice instituted by Patriarch Nikon resulted in a split in the Russian Orthodox Church. The traditionalists, the persecuted "Old Ritualists" or "Old Believers", continued the traditional stylization of icons, while the State Church modified its practice. From that time icons began to be painted not only in the traditional stylized and non-realistic mode, but also in a mixture of Russian stylization and Western European realism, and in a Western European manner very much like that of Catholic religious art of the time.

These types of icons, while finding in Russian Orthodox churches, are also sometimes found in various sui juris rites of the Catholic Church. Icons considered miraculous were said to appear. " The "appearance of an icon is its supposedly miraculous discovery. "A true icon is one that has'appeared', a gift from above, one opening the way to the Prototype and able to perform miracles".
