After having his hand cut off, John of Damascus prayed in front of an icon of Mary. The next day, his hand was restored. As thanks, he added a silver replica of his hand to Mary's icon. This icon became so popular that it was copied many times. In copies, other artists did not include the silver aspect of the hand and it eventually began to look as it it were part of Mary herself.
