The Bethlehem Icon of the Mother of God

Wooden Icon of the Mother of God "Bethlehem" (Smiling Virgin Mary, Most Holy Theotokos of Bethlehem)

The Bethlehem Icon of the Mother of God is located in the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem, a few meters to the right of the descent into the Cave of the Nativity, against the wall, in a wooden icon case. Revered as miraculous. This is, perhaps, the internal icon of the Mother of God, in which She smiles.

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 soil 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.

Our icons are made by Orthodox craftsmen. You can read more about the technology here: https://iconsofsaints.com/pages/how-is-the-icon-made
