An exact copy of an original icon, created using advanced imaging technology, with special emphasis on faithfully reproducing the artwork.

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