Icon of Panagia Kecharitomenis Wooden 23X17cm. Copy of an image from the workshop of the Holy Monastery of Xenophon with certification.
In the alcove of the sacred Step and in elaborate wood carving pilgrim there is the miraculous icon of Panagia Kecharitomeni.
It dates from the 13th century. The fathers of the Monastery placed her in the chantry out of special reverence and respect for the many miracles performed by her Grace.
Η Virgin Kecharitomeni holds Christ in her arms, depicted from the back playing with his mother, caressing her face with his right hand.
The Virgin Mary tenderly embraces the face of Christ and holds his foot with one hand and a closed scroll with the other.
In the golden background of the image are written the abbreviations M(H)THIR Θ(EO)Y and the inscription H KECHARI/TOMENI.
The contrast between the lively attitude of Christ and the melancholic expression of the Virgin Mary refers to the future Passion of the Lord.
In recent years, it has been established that her memory is celebrated on the feast of Hypapanti.
