Panagia Dexiokratousa – Canvas Icon – Mount Athos

Description

Canvas Icon of Panagia Dexiokratousa

An exact replica of the original icon, painted on natural fir wood.

According to tradition, this particular title was given to the Theotokos because she is depicted holding Jesus in her right hand, whereas the more common representation shows her holding the Divine Infant in her left hand.

However, there is another interpretation, according to which the Virgin Mary is and always has been the intercessor of people before God. She is the one who receives the supplications, prayers, and petitions of all those who turn to her for help. Panagia Dexiokratousa is the Mother of God, the mediator, and the savior, the one who is always there by the side of every person, waiting to hear their prayers and intercede for their fulfillment.
