The prayer throne Makarii had built for Ivan IV once faced opposite the ‘Church Militant’ icon in the [Patriarch’s] Cathedral of the Dormition in the Moscow Kremlin. This is the ‘Blessed is the Host of the Heavenly Tsar’ Icon we have already studied. Now the prayer throne resides in Hall 18 (Зал Ивана Грозного) of the Russian Historical Museum in Red Square, Moscow: Государственные Музеи России, Государственный Исторический Музей, Москва, Издательство «Интербук-Бизнес», 2006, p. 31; hqp://museums.artyx.ru/books/item/f00/s00/z0000000/st024.shtml.

This sculptured prayer-throne (1551) Metropolitan Makarii had ordered to be built for Ivan IV was placed opposite the ‘Church Militant’ icon in the [Patriarch’s] Cathedral of the Dormition in the Moscow Kremlin. This is the ‘Blessed is the Host of the Heavenly Tsar’ Icon we have already studied. There is an irony. The crusading thematic of the throne and icon did not preclude the use of Ottoman silk-brocade fabric (kemha in Turkish) to line the interior of the prayer-throne!
