In the series titled "Madonnas of the Greeks," there is a brief but responsible presentation of the history of the most well-known and beloved images of the Most Holy Theotokos among Greeks.
The love and honor given to these images become evident when they are displayed for veneration in the capital or other towns in Greece. At that time, one realizes the extent of the piety even among those considered secular, who form enormous "lines" in order to kiss the sacred icon, to offer a flower before the Theotokos, to light their candle, and primarily to confide "from the depths of their hearts" about their problems, pleas, or to express their "thank you" and gratitude for some miraculous intervention in their lives.
For they know that the "Lady of the World" is the "hope and protection of the faithful," does not overlook their requests, and intercedes for "the good and beneficial for their souls," allowing none to leave her presence "ashamed."
