Panagia Gorgoupikoos Icon 20X26cm Wooden Gilded

Panagia Gorgoupikoos Icon 20X26cm Wooden Gilded. Ecclesiastical icon of Panagia Gorgoepikou crafted in the Byzantine style.

The image is wooden, flat in a classic church design gilded with a special style that makes it more brilliant than gold print.

With a traditional red border and made of MDF wood makes it durable over time.

It is specially treated and varnished to have maximum resistance to time and damage.

In 1646 the nun-monk diner, who regularly passed in front of the icon holding lighted torches for his service in the bank, heard a voice say to him:

"Do not pass by here again with torches smoking my image".

The Nile did not give particular importance in the voice, which, however, was soon heard again, praising the monk and leaving him blind.

The brothers began to pass in front of her with great reverence picture, hung a sleepless candle and ordered the new dining room to remind her every day.

The blind Nile spent all his time in a stall in front of the image begging the Virgin to forgive him and heal him, which happened when, for the third time, a voice was heard from the image.

She informed the Nile that his prayer was heard and that the monks should now resort to her protection and roof for their every need.

She will listen to them quickly because her name is Gorgoepikoos celebration of October 1st

Very soon this miracle and the promise of the Virgin Mary became known throughout the Mountain and this image of her became a Panagioregite pilgrimage.

Her grace works many miracles not only on Mount Athos, but also outside it, in cities and villages, all over Greece, where there are copies of the holy image.

Our Lady of Gorgoepikoos is very miraculous, cures various diseases, gives children to childless couples, reveals lost objects, protects those who are in danger at sea.

He rescues those who are taken prisoner, heals from headaches and fatigue, raises the paralyzed, gives light to the blind, heals from deadly diseases, expels locusts from the fields and many other wonders.

The Mother of our Lord hastily cares for the salvation of us all and gives grace to all who invoke her with faith, hope and love.
