That is a great one!

Tatiana is as stately and regal as ever! Notice that she is the only sister who is wearing blue, not green, jewels on her shoulders. Why is that?

Yes, I love that Icon, this is the only Icon that I have seen in which Nicholas wears the liturgical headdress (I'd like to know the exact name of it...), sincerely I don't know why Tatiana is wearing blue jewels instead of green jewels like her sisters... $:-\$

Perhaps it is to show that she is the foremost of her sisters!

Yes, probably you're right...she was the second daughter of the Tsar, but if I recall correctly, I read that she was the most popular, she was indeed charismatic.

Not exactly a portrait...

Based on famous Nicholas' icon. It cures poor people. Saintly one.

Does anyone know which of these icons are officially sanctioned by the Russian Orthodox Church? And/or who any of the painters are?

Thanks.

St. Nicholas the Miracle Worker (not Nicholas II) and St.Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna

The last link is an icon of St Nicholas the Wonderworker and St Alexandra, the wife of Emperor Diocletian who was converted at the time that St George was being tortured. The 2 Saints are the Tsar and Tsaritsa's patron Saints.

Thank you for the correction Georgiy, I'm not an expert of Orthodox Icons (although I like them a lot) and so I labeled it as it is labeled in the web site, but she is indeed St. Alexandra, martyrized in Nicomedia.
She was against the persecution of the Christians ordered by her husband, Emperor Diocletian and she was condemned to death by the Emperor himself.
I'd like to see other Icons of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and St. Alexandra.

You could search in Googe or on the Net - there should be some of them. : )

Here is another icon that has not been posted previously:

The accompanying caption states:

This relic was a gift from Schema Metropolitan Symeon of the Holy Royal Martyrs, Old Calendar Russian Orthodox Church. The document attests to the fact “that a fragment of a bone relic of His Imperial Majesty, Tsar Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov was taken and placed in a reliquary together with a relic of a piece of the gown of Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna Romanov.” This one of a kind Icon of the Martyrs Nicholas and Alexandra was hand painted in Rostov-on-the-Don, Russia.

Does anybody have some good sources for purchasing icons of NII and family. I did a search on eBay and found only a few.

Russian Orthodox Churches for example, if you got a chance to live near. I think there must be icon stores about Orthodoxy worldwide. I know the one, I use to go in it here, it owns many books related to Faith in general, as well as for the icons.
