In a life of Saint Basil, Fool-for-Christ, there is an account of him approaching an icon of the Virgin Mary and hurling a stone at it. Cracking the outer layer of paint, revealed something more sinister...The "Hell icons" were a legend in Tsarist Russia in which, an image of a devil was painted underneath the image of a saint depicted in an icon.
