Icon 6 x 9 cm - Virgin of Dignity

This Orthodox icon depicts the Virgin of Dignity, also known as “Axion Estin”. In a solemn posture, Mary carries the blessing Infant Jesus, symbolizing wisdom and redemption. Surrounded by a gold-leaf background, both radiate divine light. This 6 x 9 cm icon on wood is a faithful reproduction of the Byzantine style. 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: “It is worthy indeed to bless you, O Mother of God”. It underlines the greatness and purity of Mary, venerated as Theotokos (Mother of God), mediatrix between heaven and earth.
