Virgin Mary Axion Esti

Silver icon with Virgin Mary Axion Esti. The orthodox icon is made of 100% pure 925^ο sterling silver with local 22K gold plating. The rich decoration around the perimeter is engraved with impressive details and Byzantine designs. Excellent quality and sharpness serigraph with "vibrant" colors on wood. On the top side of the icon there is a small metal loop so that it can be hung.

This miraculous icon at the end of the first century was located in a cell near Karyes, Mount Athos, which today bears the same name "Axion Esti". At that time, the archangel Gabriel appeared miraculously in the cell and sang with the monk, presenting the previously unknown prelude "Axion esti...". Μore about Theotokos Axion Esti.
