The series titled "The Virgin Marys of the Greeks" includes a brief, yet responsible presentation of the history of the most well-known and beloved images of the Most Holy Theotokos among the Greeks.
The love and honor given to them become evident when they are displayed for veneration in the capital or other cities in Greece. It is then that one realizes the reverence even of those considered worldly, who "stand in line" in enormous numbers in order to kiss the sacred icon, to place a flower before the Theotokos, to light their candle, and above all, to confide "from the heart" their problems, their pleas, or their "thank you" and gratitude for some miraculous intervention in their lives.
Because they know that the "Mistress of the World" is the "hope and protection of the faithful," she does not overlook their requests and intercedes for "the good and beneficial of their souls," without allowing anyone to leave her presence "ashamed."
