Wooden Icon of the Mother of God "Do not weep for Me, Mother" (Mourning of Christ)
Iconographic composition dedicated to the mourning of Christ by the Mother of God. Sometimes called “Lamentation of Christ” or “Pieta” - from Lat. pieta – “pity.” The name is taken from the irmos of the ninth song of the canon of Cosmas of Mayum for Holy Saturday, which also served as one of the sources of iconography: “Do not weep for Me, Mother, seeing in the tomb, You conceived Him in your womb without seed, a Son: for I will arise and be glorified, and I will exalt with glory unceasingly, like God, magnifying You with faith and love.”
The icon is made by printing on a wooden board. Paints are mineral, do not fade with time. The thickness of the board is 2 cm. The board is covered with primer by hand. The image is covered with wax. Each icon has a metal mount on the back side so that you can hang the icon on the wall.
