Description

The hand-finished icon depicts the “Madonna Odigitria”.
It depicts the Virgin Mary with the Child Jesus seated on her lap, wearing golden robes, a sign of her royalty and divinity. Mary wears a red cloak over a blue tunic. These colors are symbolic: blue represents purity and divinity, while red symbolizes love and sacrifice.
These abbreviations mean “Μήτηρ Θεοῦ” (Meter Theou), which translates to “Mother of God” in Greek.

The hook on the back gives the possibility to hang it on the wall.
The certificate on the back of the icon attests to its provenance from Greece, made by master craftsmen.
