Silver icon with Virgin Mary the Inexhaustible Cup of Life. 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.
The icon of the Virgin, called the "Inexhaustible Cup of Life", became known to the Orthodox World only in 1878, in the city of Serpukhov, Russia, when a man suffering from the passion of alcoholism was healed by the miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary. It is considered a protector and helper of the addicts from alcohol and substances in general. More about Virgin Mary the Inexhaustible Cup of Life.
