Authentic icon "St. "Mother of Humanity"

"The Blessed Virgin Mary, according to Christian tradition, is called Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ and the wife of the carpenter Joseph. She is known by various nicknames, such as the Virgin Mary, the Holy Mother, the Madonna, and others. She is the most revered saint in Orthodoxy and Catholicism. She is one of the three perfect women in Islam. After Christ's death on the cross and His Resurrection, she remained in Jerusalem, cared for by Jesus' beloved disciple, St. John the Theologian. According to the biblical account of the cross, the Savior entrusted his mother to him. The Blessed Virgin died at an advanced age with an easy death - the so-called ascension, with which God bestows his most faithful servants. When the apostle Thomas was late for the funeral and asked to bow before the body, and it was found that in the cave where the Virgin was buried, there remained only the funeral and the shroud," shared Ventsislav.

The icon is created using materials and paints according to the original technology for making of Orthodox icons. Gold leaf, patina, and cracking varnish were used, to make the icon look even more authentic. The icon is painted with egg tempera paint, as per the traditional technology for icon painting.
