Silver icon with Virgin Mary Economissa and fourteen Saints related to the Holy Monastery of Great Lavra. 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.
This icon was painted in memory of the words of the Virgin Mary to the founder of the Holy Monastery of the Great Lavra, Saint Athanasius the Athonite, that she will henceforth take care of the material preservation of the monastery. Therefore, no one else should be called "housekeeper" in Lavra, for it She will be the "Economissa" (housekeeper). Μore about Virgin Mary Economissa.
