Wooden Icon of the Mother of God Introduction to the Temple
Many details of the images have a symbolic interpretation associated with the akathist, where the Virgin Mary is called the ladder of heaven, the door of salvation, the light -imprisoned candle and animated temple.
On the icon "Introduction of the Virgin" is the Virgin Mary, her parents who give her daughter to the elder of Zachariah, accompanying Mary young virgins with burning candles. Sometimes behind the figure of the high priest depicts open gates to the holy of the holy of the Jerusalem Temple, where the Archangel Gabriel, "the servant from childhood and into the holy of holy nudes" flies up with heavenly bread.
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.
