The icon is based on the miracle witnessed by Moses in the Old Testament. In the book of Exodus, God calls Moses on Mt. Horeb from the midst of a bush which "was burning, yet it was not consumed." The Church sees the Unburnt Bush on Horeb as a type of the Most Holy Theotokos, who gave birth to Christ while still while remaining a virgin. One of the earliest depictions of the Mother of God as the Unburnt Bush shows her holding her divine Son in the midst of a burning bush. Moses is shown to one side, removing his sandals, for that place was holy (Exodus. 3:5).

An icon from the Solovki Monastery, painted in the 16th to 17th centuries, shows the Heavenly Jerusalem depicted on the chest of the Theotokos. In the four corners of the icon are prophecies, the hierarchies of angels and nature surround her. The presence of the Ancient of Days is in the eight-pointed star.
