Mother of God Virgin Mary the Theotokos Economissa (Stewardess). Wooden orthodox icon

Wooden Icon of the Mother of God Economissa (Stewardess)

The Economissa (or Stewardess) Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos depicts the Mother of God seated on a throne, with Her Son on her left knee. Saint Athanasius of Mt Athos stands on her right, holding a model of the Great Lavra. On her left is Saint Michael of Synnada. Two angels hold a crown above her head.

The Mother of God has been considered the Stewardess of the Holy Mountain ever since the tenth century when the Great Lavra was being built.

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.

You can buy the icon in three sizes:

• 13 х 10 centimeters (5,1 x 3,9 inches)
• 19 х 15 centimeters (7,5 x 5,9 inches)
• 26 х 20 centimeters (10,2 x 7,9 inches)

Our icons are made by Orthodox craftsmen. You can read more about the technology here.

We hope it will be a good gift for you and your loved ones.
