Wonderworking Icons of the Theotokos

In part two of this series "Beauty Will Save the World" Father Micah shares with us icons of the Mother of God, their writers and more specifically icons that are recognized as wondrous or miracle working icons. The icons shown are range from the earliest written of the Theotokos, to those that speak of the persecutions the Church has faced in the twentieth century and how Christ and His Mother are by our side. He also gives us insight into the history of these icons and where they are currently preserved.
