Theotokos And her Seven Sorrows Icon

Theotokos and Her Seven Sorrows. This icon depicts the Most Holy Theotokos with her heart pierced by seven swords, symbolizing the seven great sorrows she endured throughout the life and Passion of Christ — from prophecy and exile to the Cross and the tomb. Portrayed in humility, obedience, and silent endurance, the Theotokos is shown as the sorrowful Mother of God, the living witness to Christ’s suffering, and the one whose pain is united to His redemptive sacrifice. She stands as the bridge between heaven and earth, calling the faithful to repentance, trust, obedience, and unwavering faith. This sacred image invites contemplation, prayer, veneration, and spiritual connection.

This Theotokos and Her Seven Sorrows 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 two 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.
