Wooden Icon of the Mother of God "Giver of Gifts" Archieressa
This Orthodox icon depicts the Mother of God “Giver of Gifts”, also known as “Archieressa”, a revered image of modern Orthodox iconography intended especially for personal and home (cell) prayer.
In this iconographic type, the Most Holy Theotokos is honored as the spiritual Archieressa—the one who intercedes before her Son and bestows spiritual gifts by God’s grace. The image emphasizes her maternal care for the Church and for every Christian who turns to her in faith. The title “Giver of Gifts” reflects the Orthodox understanding that all true gifts—spiritual wisdom, peace of heart, strength in trials, healing, and guidance—are granted by God through the prayers of the Mother of God.
This icon is particularly associated with quiet, attentive prayer, making it well suited for a home icon corner or private devotional space. Believers turn to the Mother of God “Giver of Gifts” asking for help in discerning God’s will, strengthening faith, receiving spiritual consolation, and growing in virtues.
Though modern in origin, the icon faithfully follows Orthodox theological tradition and conveys the timeless truth of the Theotokos as a loving intercessor and helper of the faithful, who never ceases to care for those who seek her protection.
