Aged-Wooden Byzantine Icon of Panagia Giatrissa.
The miraculous Icon of Panagia Giatrissa was found from Jerusalem in Loutraki, through a woman who had traveled to the Holy Land and brought it as a gift to a loved one.
Over the years, the Ιcon performed many miracles and helped many people with health problems.
Out of reverence, the residents decided to build a church dedicated to the miracles of the Icon. The Holy Monastery of Panagia Giatrissa is also built on the ridge of Taygetos.
The aging technique is meticulously applied to the Icon by hand and gives it the look of time while the depiction retains its artistic details.
Around the perimeter, the aging becomes more apparent with frayed edges that give the Icon a distinctive appearance.
During the final processing, the Aged-Wooden Icon of Panagia Giatrissa is polished with a special varnish to withstand time.
Note: The final Icon may slightly differ from the catalog photo.
