This is a photograph of a mosaic icon of the Virgin Mary set into a rocky alcove above a body of turquoise water
Short TermThis is a photograph of a mosaic icon of the Virgin Mary set into a rocky alcove above a body of turquoise water. The mosaic is arched at the top and depicts the Virgin Mary standing centrally with her arms outstretched. She is surrounded by smaller figures and angels. The rock face surrounding the alcove is rough and textured, with visible striations and shadows. The water below is a vibrant blue-green and appears calm, with some small white flecks visible on its surface. The scene is located at the foot of Mount Mashuk in Pyatigorsk, Russia, specifically at the site of the Monastery of St. Stephen. This location is known for its natural springs and grottoes.
