An exact replica of the original icon of the Panagia Portaitissa at the Holy Monastery of Iviron on Mount Athos, traditionally attributed to the Evangelist Luke. It was created using advanced imaging technology, with particular emphasis on faithfully reproducing the original.
Made from natural lime wood, with a gilded background and a recessed surface. Dimensions: 20 x 25 cm.
According to tradition, a widow cast 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 central gate, which is why it was named “Portaitissa” (“Gatekeeper”).
