Mother of God Virgin Mary the Theotokos "Education". Wooden orthodox icon

Wooden Icon of the Mother of God "Education" 

In the icon called “Education”, the Mother of God is depicted with the Eternal Child sitting on Her left hand. The right hand of Christ is stretched upward to the face of the Most Pure Virgin.

The name of the icon speaks for itself. In front of her, parents pray for their children, asking the Most Holy Theotokos to take them under Her protection, send them reason and fill their hearts with wisdom. Also, a short prayer to this image has survived to this day: “I entrust my child entirely to my Lord Jesus Christ and to Your, Most Pure One, heavenly protection.”

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 11 centimeters (5,1 x 4,3 inches)
• 19 х 15 centimeters (7,5 x 5,9 inches)
• 26 х 21 centimeters (10,2 x 8,3 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.
