Silver icon with the Virgin Mary Paramythia. 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.
Climbing the staircase to the left of the central gate of the catholic of the Holy Great Monastery of Vatopedi, there is a chapel dedicated to Theotokos Paramythia. There the miraculous icon was transferred, after the miracle that made by saving the monks from the pirates raid. More about Virgin Mary Paramythia.
