Theotokos Eleusa V3 Icon African Padauk Edition (20cm x 28cm) - 1 in stock

Theotokos Eleusa. This icon depicts the Holy Mother tenderly holding and embracing the Christ Child, who lovingly touches her chin with His right hand—a gesture that conveys deep affection, divine love, and intimate connection between Mother and Son. Traditionally, the Eleusa icon shows both their cheeks touching to symbolize the closeness of the Theotokos and Christ, but in this variation, Christ’s tender touch of His Mother’s chin expresses the same profound bond of love and compassion in a uniquely gentle way. This image invites contemplation, prayer, veneration, and spiritual connection.

This Theotokos Eleusa icon is carefully glued onto beautiful African Padauk 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.

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.
