The icon of Mother of God “the Burning Bush” forms a theological and biblical synthesis of Mariology. Its idea is based on the excerpt from the Book of Exodus relating the vision in which Moses saw the Angel of God in the flame coming from the middle of a bush. The Old Testament types of announcements of Mary’s role, evoked in the icon, put into the categories of “the Burning Bush”, “the Tree of Jesse”, “Jacob’s Ladder”, “the Gate of Ezekiel” and others, are a visual form of the liturgical texts. The original icon of Mother of God “ the Burning Bush” contained many verbal inscriptions, explaining the role of Theotokos in accomplishment of the salutary will of God. The central composition with Mother of God and Emmanuel surrounded by multitudes of angels with various attributes – liturgical utensils, books, candles and others – evokes a solemn liturgy.
