In our collection, we have icons dedicated to a variety of notable Orthodox Russian saints, and the name of Saint Macarius holds a special place among them. The ascetic and miracle worker established, at least, four monasteries in the Nizhniy Novgorod region, with the Zheltovodsky Makaryev Convent and the Makaryev Sviyazhsk Monastery being the most notable ones. The featured hand-painted icon dates back to the 19th century and features techniques common to the traditionalist movement in religious iconography.
