Description

Iverskaya Mother of God

also known as:
Panagia Portaitissa Παναγία Πορταΐτισσα
Iviron Theotokos
Iverian Theotokos
Our Lady of Iveron
or more formally “Wonderworking Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos of Iveron”.

Considered to be the most famous and most revered miraculous icon of the Theotokos on the Holy Mountain. It is a pre-iconoclastic Byzantine icon. The most unique characteristic of the image is what appears to be a scar on the chin of the Virgin.

11cm x 15cm (4.33inches x 5.90inches)

High quality wall icon/plaque 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 Orthodox friend or for your prayer corner.

Please note that it should not to be exposed in direct sunlight and to heat above 50ºC/122.00ºF
