專家說明

The inscription on the present icon indicates that it was a gift from Metropolitan Ioaniky of Kiev (Ivan Rudnev, 1826-1900) on 12 September 1896. The icon represents St Nestor the Chronicler, whose relics are preserved in the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. It is known that Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra Feodorovna visited the Kiev Pechersk Lavra on 19 August 1896 during their visit to the city for the consecration of St Vladimir Cathedral, which was presided over by Metropolitan Ioaniky. It has been suggested that the present icon could have been a gift from the Metropolitan Ioaniky to the Imperial family, following their official visit to Kiev.
