Theotokos Eleusa Icon V3

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 handcrafted Theotokos Eleusa icon is carefully glued onto solid hardwood and sealed under a smooth, glossy epoxy resin for a vibrant, luminous finish. Available in four exquisite wood types—Amaranth, African Padauk, Black Walnut, or Cherry—and in two sizes, 14 cm × 20 cm or 19 cm × 27 cm, each piece carries its own unique tone and presence.

Please note that the black, brown, red, or burgundy border visible in the print will not appear in the final product. This adjustment is made for production purposes and ensures a cleaner, more luminous finish. Additionally, because each icon is made by hand, extremely slight variations in size and tone may occur, making every piece uniquely its own. All available sizes feature a uniform thickness of 2.5cm

A timeless and reverent piece, perfect for display in your home, prayer space, or as a meaningful gift.
