The Mother of God is depicted on a golden background, standing in full height on a quadrangular golden stone with her arms raised.The icon was named "The Indestructible Wall" because it remained intact for nine centuries, despite the fact that both the cathedral and the city were repeatedly destroyed. An ancient description of this icon has been preserved: "The height of the Virgin is gigantic, as are all Her works in Russia. She stands on a golden stone, the unshakable foundation of all who come to Her protection. Her chiton is of heavenly color, Her belt is red, and on it hangs the lention with which She wipes away so many tears. Azure errands on Her hands raised to the sky. A golden veil falls from Her head and is thrown over Her left shoulder as a homophorion, in sign of Her veil, wider than the clouds, like the voice of a church song. A bright star is burning on the forehead of the Mother of God and two stars on the arms: for She herself, the Mother of the Unbreakable Light, was for us the star of the Unbreakable Sun."According to Kyivan legend, the capital city of Kyiv will not perish as long as the Mother of God, the "Indestructible Wall," stretches her hands over it.
