Weeping Virgin Mary Icon – Handmade Orthodox Christian Art of the Blessed Mother

Discover the Weeping Virgin Mary Icon, a sacred and mysterious image rooted in the ancient Eleusa iconographic tradition. Handmade by a professional iconographer from the Lazarella school, this powerful icon is crafted with deep spiritual reverence and exquisite artistic skill.

Painted on a solid wooden board with high-quality Dutch tempera paints, the icon features gold or silver metal slag, embossed ornamentation, and shimmering varak (gold or silver leaf). It is sealed with a durable, colorless varnish for protection and longevity. Every detail follows the strict canons of Orthodox iconography.

The icon’s history is wrapped in legend: according to tradition, the Holy Mother appeared to a monk on Mount Athos and guided the creation of this icon, which later healed children, protected monasteries, and became a symbol of divine intercession. It is associated with miraculous events in Veliko Tarnovo and Arbanasi, Bulgaria – places of deep Orthodox heritage.

Perfect for devotional spaces, spiritual healing, or as a meaningful gift, this icon offers not only visual beauty but also a connection to centuries-old tradition and miraculous grace.
