The Woman Anointing the Lord icon, Handmade Greek Orthodox icon Byzantine art wall hanging wood plaque

Honor the legacy of sacred devotion with this beautifully crafted Orthodox icon lithography of The Woman Anointing the Lord, featuring a double varnish layer for lasting depth and brilliance. Handmade artificial aging enhances its timeless beauty, making it a stunning representation of Byzantine hagiographic art.

This moving Gospel scene captures the profound moment when a woman, overcome with repentance and love, anointed Christ's feet with precious myrrh and wiped them with her hair. This act of profound humility and devotion, recorded in all four Gospels, deeply moved the Lord, who declared that wherever the Gospel would be preached, her deed would be remembered. Through her actions, she prophetically prepared Christ for His burial, though she knew it not, and received forgiveness of her sins through her great love.

This Orthodox icon depicts this touching moment of divine mercy meeting human repentance, capturing both the woman's humility and Christ's compassionate acceptance. Whether displayed in your prayer corner or as a treasured gift, it serves as a powerful reminder of Christ's boundless mercy and the transformative power of genuine repentance. An ideal addition to any sacred space, this icon illustrates that no sin is beyond forgiveness when approached with true contrition and love for the Lord.
