This is an exact reproduction of the icon of the Virgin Mary Portaitissa at Iviron Monastery on Mount Athos, an artwork traditionally attributed to the Evangelist Luke. A widow cast it into the sea to save it from the iconoclasts, and the icon sailed upright toward Mount Athos. It is located to the left of the monastery’s central gate, which is why it was named “Portaitissa.”
