Greek Christening Baptism Orthodox Byzantine Silver 925 Hanging cradle of Virgin Mary Giatrissa

The Virgin Mary is the Theotokos, the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son and Word of God. She conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. She was cared for by her betrothed husband, Joseph, who took the child and his mother into his home as his own. One very strong tradition in the Orthodox Church holds that the birth of Jesus was also miraculous and left Mary's virginity intact as a sign; it is also the tradition of the Church that Joseph and Mary did not have relations after the birth of Jesus. She is also called Panagia, the "All-Holy," indicating her closeness to God in her obedience.

A beautiful image of the Virgin Mary, or Panagia, shows her tenderly holding the Christ Child in her arms. According to tradition, the original icon of the Virgin Mary was saved during the iconoclastic period and brought to Mount Athos.
