I'm not absolutely sure, but one possibility could be the 1612 Battle of Moscow, where the icon of Our Lady of Kazan, one of the most revered by the Russian Orthodox Church as it appears, was carried into battle by Prince Pozharski against the Poles. According to several sources, like OrhodoxWiki,
Hermogen [...] called for a three-day fast and ordered the icon of Our Lady of Kazan to be brought to Princes Minin and Pozharsky, who were leading the resistance to the occupation. This icon [...] was carried before their regiments as they fought to regain the capital from the Poles. When the Polish army was finally driven from Moscow on October 22, 1612, the victory was attributed to the intercession of the Mother of God, and the Kazan icon became a focal point for Russian national sentiments.
