Virgin and Child, Sweet Kissing - Hand Painted Icon

[Model: HND_th-8988]

Byzantine Hand Painted Icon of Virgin Mary and Child. Virgin Mary is depicted according to the "Sweet Kissing" type.


Panagia "Sweet Kissing" (in Greek "Glykophilousa") is a popular miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary with great theological interest as, the original, it was miraculously saved from the iconoclasm of the 9th century. 

Specifically, the pious Christian, Victoria, threw the icon into the sea in order to save it from destruction. In a miraculous way, the icon reached Mount Athos, at the Holy Monastery of Philotheοu, where it was rescued by the abbot and monks, to whom Panagia appeared in a vision to notify them of the miraculous event. 

At the spot where the Icon of Panagia "Sweet Kissing" was found, holy water sprang up and, to this day, a liturgy and holy water is held on Monday of the Diakainisimi Week.

Hand-Painted Icons occupy a valuable place in ecclesiastical art because, beyond their obvious artistic value, a hand-painted icon unites man with the holiness of the depicted person.


For the Hand-Painted Icon of Panagia "Sweet Kissing" our experienced painters use traditional techniques and high-quality materials that offer excellent depiction and durability over time.


All our Hand-Painted Icons are painted with egg tempera, while you can choose the size of the icon, the decoration of the background, the language of the inscriptions as well as the type of wood you wish to use.


Note: The final Icon may slightly differ from the catalog photo.
