Mother of God Virgin Mary the Theotokos "The Three Hands". Wooden orthodox icon

Wooden Icon of the Mother of God of the Three Hands (the Most Holy Theotokos with Three Arms or Three Hands)

When John of Damascus had his hand cut off due to slander against him, he prayed with tears before the icon of the Mother of God that his hand, which wrote spiritual works for the glory of God, would grow back. And the severed hand grew back together during a short sleep. Then John of Damascus, as a sign of gratitude to the Mother of God, hung an image of a silver hand to Her icon, which is why the icon received the name “Three-Handed”, and John of Damascus was given the grace to provide assistance in pain or injury to the hands.

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 14 centimeters (7,5 x 5,5 inches)
• 26 х 19 centimeters (10,2 x 7,5 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.
