The history of the icon says that it was painted with the blessing of Ambrose of Optina
The history of the icon is quite unusual. Tradition says that it was written with the blessing of Ambrose of Optina himself in 1890. It is believed that the idea to paint this image came to him in the last years of his life. Since he was very concerned about the fate of the Shamordino convent, he often prayed to the Mother of God for the protection and intercession of this place.
The Icon of the Spreader of Bread was painted with the blessing of Ambrose of Optina. Photo: fotopaterik.org
The sketch of this icon was based on the landscape from the surroundings of the monastery. Above him, he decided to depict the Mother of God floating in the air. Thus, he showed that the monastery is under the patronage of the Mother of God.
In 1890, Ambrose asked to paint an icon for Hieromonk Daniel. This was the brother of the Shamordino abbess Sophia. Daniil was then a fairly famous academic painter. The hieromonk depicted the Mother of God sitting on the clouds with outstretched arms. He portrayed her in his usual academic style. This image was taken from the icon of “All Saints” from a monastery in the Oryol province. On the lower part of the icon they depicted a landscape with a grain field stretching into the distance.
Such an icon became quite close to the image that Elder Ambrose represented. When the icon was painted, it was sent to Optina Pustyn. Abbess Ilaria brought it from the Bolkhov Convent, where it was painted. Her veneration began immediately.
