The Significance of Virgin Mary Panagia
Handmade Greek Orthodox Canvas – Virgin Mary
A wonderful, UNIQUE AND AUTHENTIC HANDMADE PIECE OF ART crafted on premium quality aged putted hagiography canvas adorned with Golden leaves depicting Virgin Mary / Panagia Glykophilousa. An icon crafted on solid pine wood aesthetically upgraded with collective value due to the handmade ageing process it has undergone.
A wonderful image with Virgin Mary / Panagia the Glykophilousa, depicted lovingly holding little Christ in her arms. According to tradition, the original icon of Virgin Mary / Panagia the Glykophilousa was rescued during the iconoclastic period and was transferred to Mount Athos. She allegedly belonged to Victoria, the wife of a senator, who in her attempt to save the icon, threw it in the sea. According to the tradition, the icon sailed upright in the waves until it finally reached the coastline of Monastery of Filotheos in mount Athos, where it was spotted and picked up by the monks of the monastery. On Easter Monday there is a litany of the icon from the Holy Monastery to the spot where it was found. It is worth mentioning that the nickname Glykophilousa is one of about 500 names attributed to the Virgin Mary, which is one of the most beloved figures of the Orthodox Church.
The creator of this icon has learned the canonization of iconography in workshops of the Monasteries of Mount Athos, where he was taught both the technique of Hagiography and the process of handmade artificial ageing, which bears the image with the representation of Virgin Mary / Panagia the Glykophilousa.

Every piece leaves our workshop finished by hand — the wood prepared, the image laid, the surface aged and varnished. One at a time, the way Greek icon workshops have worked for generations.
We make them to be lived with: held in prayer, hung in a quiet corner, passed on.
