Forgive, all. When I posted the link to that icon, I didn't understand the full weight and meaning behind it. Once you read about St. Maria, and her personal beliefs on the Theotokos things make much more sense. I found this article to be of help with that (especially starting at the second paragraph of pg. 186):

It's a worthy (short) read I assure you, and it casts light on the meaning of this icon.
