In the center are the figures of all Murom’s wonderworkers: princes Constantine, Michael and Theodor, Peter, Fevronia and the righteous Juliania Lazarevskaya. They are shown praying to the Mother of God placed in a segment of heaven. The hagiographic cycle has the same composition as does the Peter and Fevronia iconographic cycle, with a panorama of Murom in the centerpiece, though the border scenes are placed in the other, traditional sequence - in horizontal registers the full-width of the icon. The upper left corner depicts Murom’s kremlin, which is not part of the hagiographic cycle, representing itself a replica of the centerpiece of an earlier icon (catalogue No 17).
