Silver icon with Virgin Mary Gorgoepikoos. Handmade silver icon on natural wood, made with 925ο silver with local 22K gold plating. The natural wood used for the synthesis of the icon is beech (fagus) from Mount Athos, a wood that is receptive to aging techniques that give the appearance of vintage to the wood, without altering the depicted image.
The depictions of faces, hands, halos or other representations are depicted in excellent quality and clarity silkscreen with "vivid" colors. The silver frame of the icon is held by nails to resemble the original icons. On the back side, the icon has a small metal ring made of horseshoe nails so that it can be hung.
One of the many names we give to Our Lady is Gorgoepikoos and her homonymous miraculous icon is located in the Holy Monastery of Dochiariou on Mount Athos since 1646. There, the icon preserves from every insult and temptation the holy fathers of Mount Athos, but also those, who are asking for help from Virgin Mary. Μore about Theotokos Gorgoepikoos.
