Icon - Mother of God




The latest icon.

For those who do not know, the three stars (shoulders and head) represent her perpetual virginity: before, during and after birth of Christ.

    Paul, are selling these or are you keeping them?

    That's a hard question. I've been praying with the Pantocrator and with the Mother of God, and so have become attached to them - that, and plus they are my first icons of our Lord and our Lady (and St. Michael).

    If I do end up selling them, it will be hard parting - I'll say that for sure.

    I hadn't known about the stars. Thanks for sharing another icon. =)

    I can't imagine how anyone who creates beauty like this could ever part with them.
