The Virgin Mary of the Sweetness of Angels – Serigraph on Naturally Aged Wood – Mount Athos

Description

The Virgin Mary of the Sweetness of Angels on Naturally Aged Wood

The Sweetness of Angels is a hymn to the Most Holy Theotokos, to whom the entire Athonite community is dedicated. “The Sweetness of the angels, the joy of the sorrowful,” is a characteristic line from one of the hymns of the Feast of the Assumption. The Sweetness of Angels is the Virgin Mary, who brings joy and fulfillment because she brought Jesus Christ into the world. In this image, the Virgin Mary embraces Christ, while above them, two angelic figures can be seen. The representation of the Most Holy Theotokos is one of the favorite themes of the monks of Mount Athos, who express their boundless faith and love in this way.

The icon of the Virgin Mary of the Sweetness of Angels is a unique blessing for any home.

As the icon is handmade and the wood processing is done by hand, there may be slight variations in the wood, but not in the depiction.

The icon is available upon request.
