An exact replica of the original icon, created using advanced imaging technology with particular emphasis on faithful reproduction of the artwork. On natural limewood, with a gold-leaf background and carved surface, measuring 20 × 25 cm.
This is an exact replica of the icon of the Panagia Portaitissa at the Holy Monastery of Iviron on Mount Athos. A pious widow cast it into the sea to save it from the iconoclasts, and it floated 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 epithet, “Portaitissa” (Gatekeeper).
