Faithful reproduction of the original icon, created using advanced imaging technology with particular emphasis on accurately reproducing the artwork. On natural limewood with a gold-leaf background and smooth finish, measuring 20 x 25 cm.
This is a faithful reproduction of the icon of the Virgin Mary Portaitissa at the Holy Monastery of Iviron on Mount Athos. A virtuous widow cast it into the sea to save it from the iconoclasts, and it sailed upright toward Mount Athos, where Saint Gabriel received it. The icon remains in the chapel to the left of the main gate, from which it takes its name, “Portaitissa” (Gatekeeper).
