Moved from "Our Lady of Tikhvin" to "Theotokos of Tikhvin" because Theotokos (or Mother of God) is a more accurate rendering of the Russian name of icons of the Theotokos, and not calling it "Our Lady" prevents Orthodox icons from being confused with non-Orthodox ideas, such as the alleged apparitions of Mary among Roman Catholics. I moved it without discussing it first because nobody has posted on this page yet and the page is mostly empty anyhow. I'll come back and fill some more stuff in when I have time. --Matrona 03:32, 16 Aug 2005 (EDT)
