Description & Specifications

Exact replica of the icon of the Virgin Portaitissa from the Holy Monastery of Iviron on Mount Athos, created using advanced imaging technology and with special emphasis on faithfully reproducing the original. Crafted from natural linden wood, with a gold-leaf background and a flat surface. Dimensions: 10 × 13 cm.

A virtuous widow cast the icon into the sea to save it from the iconoclasts. It sailed upright to Mount Athos, where it was received by Saint Gabriel. The icon remains in the chapel to the left of the main entrance, from which it takes its name, “Portaitissa” (“Keeper of the Gate”).
