Diaphanous Byzantine Icon of Panagia the Seven Swords.
In the Icon of the Seven Swords, the Virgin Mary is depicted with seven swords or spears piercing her, as the Elder Simeon prophesied: "Behold, this child is set for the falling and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sin which shall be spoken against. Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." (Luke 2:35).
These swords symbolize the sorrow and pain of the Panagia for the torture her Son, Jesus Christ, suffered, His Crucifixion and Death as well as His Burial.
Although nothing surpasses her own sorrow, Panagia is next to anyone who needs help and calls her for consolation.
The Icon is made from the best quality cast Plexiglass, giving the illusion of glass while offering a three-dimensional luxury.
The Diaphanous Byzantine Icon of Panagia the Seven Swords is sent in a beautiful package and is a modern and unique choice to offer as a gift.
