This is an exact replica 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 towards Mount Athos. It is located to the left of the Monastery’s main gate, which is why it was named “Portaitissa” (“Keeper of the Gate”).
