Theotokos Panagia Portaitissa Icon
About this piece
Theotokos Panagia Portaitissa. One of the most beloved and miraculous icons of the Mother of God. According to tradition, the wound and drop of blood on her cheek appeared after a soldier in Nicaea during the period of Byzantine iconoclasm struck the original icon with a spear. According to tradition, when the icon was stabbed, blood miraculously flowed out of the wound, revealing her compassion and shared suffering with humanity. The icon reflects the Virgin’s deep love, protection, and intercession for all who seek her help, inviting contemplation, prayer, veneration, and spiritual connection.
This Theotokos Panagia Portaitissa icon is carefully glued onto solid hardwood and sealed under a smooth, glossy epoxy resin, resulting in a vibrant finish. Once set, each piece is trimmed to size, sanded to perfection, and finished with a high-quality wood treatment oil that enhances the natural beauty. Available in two exquisite wood types—African Padauk and Black Walnut—and in three sizes, each piece carries its own unique tone and presence.
Since each icon is individually crafted by hand, subtle variations in size and tone may occur. The artisanal process ensures each piece is unique, adding to its authentic character and charm. All available sizes feature a uniform thickness of 2.5 cm.
A timeless and reverent piece, perfect for display in your home, prayer space, or as a meaningful gift.

Perfect in every way
So beautiful and well made I highly recommend SahuriMade . I’ve purchased many of his beautiful icons.
My expectations were already pretty high but I’m absolutely blown away at the beauty and quality! Will absolutely be returning.
These icons are absolutely breathtaking! They showcase incredible craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. The precision of the cuts, the flawless finish, and the overall quality are truly impressive. You can instantly tell they're designed to endure for a lifetime.
I've ordered four icons from Sahurimade and just placed another order for two! If you're considering purchasing an icon, look no further! I wholeheartedly recommend Sahurimade; his prices are unbeatable! I've bought icons from various other shops, and they were significantly more expensive for the same size.
