Panagia Deisis – Serigraph on Naturally Aged Wood – Mount Athos

Description

Icon of Panagia Deisis on Naturally Aged Wood

The Icon of Panagia Deisis on naturally aged wood is a unique piece of art created by monks. It depicts an amazing iconographic theme with the Virgin Mary, the Protector of all humanity, who always prays and intercedes with Jesus Christ and Her Son for the redemption and salvation of mankind.

The figure of the Virgin Mary humbly offers a prayer to her Son for the whole world.

The Virgin Mary has always been, is, and will continue to be the mediator between Jesus and humanity. She is the one who hears the prayers, anxieties, and pains of the faithful and brings them to Her Son. This is symbolized in this particular icon, with the Theotokos depicted in a posture of supplication. It is the Virgin Mary turning to Jesus, interceding and praying for the salvation of mankind, for the bestowing of His Grace, for help, and to lead them away from sin so they can be redeemed.

Two elements contribute to the aesthetic superiority of this particular icon. One is the flawless execution of the depiction by the monk, and the second is the naturally aged wood used as the base for the icon.

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 order.
