Wooden pendant amulet with Panagia Soumela

A wonderful wood-carved amulet from Mount Athos with a relief representation of Panagia Soumela.

It is an elegant & handy handiwork made in linden or cherry wood, by monks with great skill in wood processing. In a relatively small size and with a well-thought-out construction (thanks to the cord on top), it can be placed anywhere in the house, in the car or even in a bag, so that the faithful feel that he always has the Grace and protection of the Virgin Mary close to him.

At the same time, it can be a very beautiful gift for the people we love.

On the back is the exact name of the representation.

Panagia Soumela

Two words that symbolize the entire Christian history of Pontian Hellenism.

According to tradition, the icon of Panagia Soumela was created by the Apostle and Evangelist Luke. In 386 the monks Barnabas and Sophronius found, after a vision, in a cave in the mountains of Pontus where they found the icon of the Virgin Mary and thus laid the foundations for the foundation of the Holy Monastery of Panagia Soumela, which was destroyed by the Turks during the uprooting of the Pontians. The monastery and the icon took their name from Mount Mela and the Pontic ‘”sou”, which means “to the: ie “to Mela”.
