Icon 9 x 12 cm - Virgin of Dignity

This Orthodox icon depicts the Virgin of Dignity, also called "Axion Estin." In a solemn posture, Mary holds the blessing Child Jesus, symbolizing wisdom and redemption. Surrounded by a gold leaf background, both radiate divine light. This 9 x 12 cm icon, made on wood, is a faithful reproduction of the Byzantine style. It is perfect for a prayer corner or as a spiritual gift. The "Axion Estin" icon takes its name from an Orthodox liturgical chant transmitted by an angel to a monk on Mount Athos: "Truly it is worthy to bless you, O Mother of God." It emphasizes the greatness and purity of Mary, venerated as the Theotokos (Mother of God), mediator between heaven and earth.
