The Significance of the Panagia Panton Chara

The title "Panton Chara" (Greek: Πάντων Θλιβομένων η Χαρά) means "the Joy of All Who Sorrow." In this beloved image the Mother of God is venerated as the comfort of the afflicted and the gladness of the sorrowful — a radiant protectress who offers a universal joy that rises above every earthly trial.

Holding her Son, the source of all consolation, she extends her tenderness and intercession to the suffering and the broken-hearted. As a devotional icon, the Panagia Panton Chara is a sign of hope, comfort and the maternal love of the Theotokos — a treasured presence in any prayer corner and a meaningful gift of spiritual peace.
