An exhibition of military items, different artefacts, and documents from Ukrainian museums opened yesterday at the Army Museum in Stockholm. Among them, a large silver setting of the icon Our Lady from the St. Elijah church in Chernihiv, Ukraine. It was brought from the Historical Museum in Chernihiv, a city that was bombed by Russia in 2022. The silver decoration from the end of 17th century was protected by local museologist, also during communism, and now will presented in the capital of Sweden for a year. I highly recommend this exhibition.
This is what this icon once looked like
