Description
This icon beautifully portrays the Most Holy Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary alongside her Son and our God, Jesus Christ. Sometimes, angels overshadow her in these depictions, a powerful visual link to the Ark of the Covenant from the Old Testament. Just as the Ark was a sacred vessel containing the Glory of God and overshadowed by angels, the Virgin Mary's womb held the fullness of the Godhead.
Her womb is described as "More spacious than the heavens" (Πλατυτέρα των Ουρανών), an awe-inspiring concept highlighting that she contained the Creator of the universe—He who cannot be contained by all of creation. She is the very Throne of the Most High, where the Mercy Seat, once empty, is now occupied by the King of Kings.
About Our Icons (Print and Mounted):
Theophany Works Icons are handcrafted reproductions, made with prayer and a desire for excellence. Choose from our standard mounted option on Museum Quality Paper or you may choose to upgrade to Museum Quality Matte Canvas. Both offer a rich print with saturated coloration and are finished with our high-grade UV protection sealant offering a subtle tactile texture that gives our icons a truly authentic feel & can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Additionally, each Maple-shelled panel is prepared with a painted chamfered front edge as well as a round-over on the back edge to give a shadow box effect when hung on the wall. Our Icons come standard with a sliding key-hole slot on the back which allows for balanced hanging. These beautiful American-made reproductions will be a beloved addition to any home or parish at the fraction of the cost of a hand painted icon.
