Panagia tou Harou
also known as
Virgin of Death,
The Virgin of Charon
Gr: Παναγία του Χάρου
The original of this wonder-working Theotokos icon is found in the church of St. John the Theologian, at the small island of Leipsoi in Greece. The icon depicts the Virgin Mary cradling the crucified Christ, rather than the Christ child, hence its name (haros in Greek means “death”).
11cm x 12cm (4.33inches x 4.72inches)
High quality wall icon crafted in a unique way with superior natural materials
Made with pure beeswax, mastic and incense exactly like the first Christian icons of Luke the Evangelist. No other materials or chemicals of any sorts are used.
Hand-carved, solid beeswax with great emphasis on detail
It emits a very distinct odor due to the incense from Mount Athos creating an atmosphere similar to an Orthodox church or to a Monastery. We really wish we could transmit this pleasant odor over the internet for you to smell!
This is a truly unique item, the perfect spiritual gift for your Christian friend or for your own prayer corner.
