Icon of the Holy Virgin of Eleusis, Mercy. On the icon, the Child is depicted sitting in the arms of the Mother of God, pressing his cheek to Her cheek. The earliest such image is preserved from 650 in a fresco in the Basilica of Santa Maria Antiqua in Rome, the work of a Byzantine master. Something really appeals to this image No matter how few people are in a church, there is always someone in front of this image. And how different the people are: quite young and with a worldly appearance, a big man - he almost shrunk, he was silent for a moment, old grandmothers, of course, but also a schoolboy and a schoolgirl. It seems to me that this icon - which according to the Orthodox canon is called with the expressive name "Mother of Mercy - Tenderness", is so spontaneously the preferred place even for the non-church person in the Orthodox temple - because it captures the innermost essence of the Mother of God. That she is the "heart of the Church". If Christ is "the Head"; if He animates the Body of the Church, then its "sense center", the place where all the pains and tremors of the "members" of this Body gather, is precisely the Mother of God. If Christ is the Father, she is the Mother. If Christ is the head of the home, she is the heart of the home.

I bought two icons to this seller, and in spite I had paid for two shipements, they both came in the same package... Which was not supost to happen. Nevertheless, good and beautiful material
查看翻譯Hello Teresa! Thank you for the feedback! I'm sorry to hear that you had problems with the delivery and specifically with one of the icons. Can you provide a photo of the damaged one? I also understand your concerns about shipping and in particular combining two icons in one package. I believe that in the private message I sent you with detailed information, you will be convinced that there is no abuse. Sincerely: Ivo
the icon should have been protected better. the newspaper remained stuck to the painting and was difficult to remove. in the end, everything was fine
查看翻譯Hello ! Thank you for your comment. I understand and apologize for the situation. I will take your note into consideration and be more careful with packaging in the future. Sincerely: Ivo
