Icon of the Virgin of the Sweetness of the Angels on Naturally Aged Wood
A beautiful serigraphy on naturally aged wood, sourced from wood of renovated Athonite cells, specially processed by monks.
“The Sweetness of the Angels, the joy of the sorrowful,” is a phrase found in one of the hymns of the Dormition. It is a hymn dedicated to the Most Holy Theotokos, to whom the entire Athonite Monastic State is dedicated. The Sweetness of the Angels refers to the Virgin Mary, who brings joy, fulfillment, and delight because she is the one who brought Jesus Christ into the world.
The depiction of the Most Holy Theotokos is one of the favorite themes of the monks of Mount Athos, who express their boundless faith and love through this portrayal.
Since the icon is handmade and the wood is processed by hand, there may be small variations in the wood, but not in the depiction.
The icon is available upon order.
