Faithful reproduction of the icon of the Panagia Portaitissa at Iviron Monastery on Mount Athos, created using advanced imaging technology with particular attention to accurately reproducing the original artwork.
Made from natural linden wood, with a blue background and a flat surface. Dimensions: 30 x 40 cm.
According to tradition, a virtuous widow cast the icon into the sea to save it from the iconoclasts. It sailed upright toward Mount Athos, where it was received by Saint Gabriel. The icon remains in the chapel to the left of the main gate, from which it takes its name, “Portaitissa” (Gatekeeper).
