Virgin Mary icon Panagia Ierosolymitissa, Handmade Greek Orthodox Icon, Mother of God Byzantine art wall hanging, Theotokos wood plaque

A beautiful icon, crafted on naturally aged wood with Virgin Mary Ierosolimitissa. Panagia Ierosolymitissa (Gr. Ιεροσολυμίτισσα - Most Holy Lady of Jerusalem) is a very popular icon of the Theotokos because it overlooks the empty tomb of the Most Holy Theotokos at the Sepulcher of the Mother of God in Gethsemane—blessing the numerous pilgrims visiting the Holy Land of Jerusalem. The underground tomb of the Virgin Mary is situated in the Kidron Valley, on the foothills of the Mount of Olives, where the Saviour often prayed with His disciples. It is attributed to the Theotokos since it is believed that the Apostles gathered at this location and buried the most-pure body of the Mother of God. Her icon remains there as an endless spring of blessings for all the Christians, celebrated (or venerated) by the name "Panagia Ierosolimitissa.

This wonderful icon has been created with the technique of lithography. The creator of this icon has learned the canonization of iconography in workshops of the Monasteries of Mount Athos, where he was taught the holy art of Hagiography.
