Exact replica of the icon of the Virgin Mary Portaitissa at Iviron Monastery on Mount Athos, traditionally attributed to the Evangelist Luke. Created using advanced imaging technology, with particular emphasis on faithfully reproducing the original work.
Made from finished MDF wood, with a blue background and a flat surface. Dimensions: 20 x 25 cm.
According to tradition, a widow threw the icon into the sea to save it from the iconoclasts, and it sailed upright toward Mount Athos. It is located to the left of the Monastery’s main gate, which is why it was named “Portaitissa.”
