Metal Greek Orthodox Icon “Dormition of the Theotokos” 24x19cm on Wooden Base – Byzantine Icon of Hope and Resurrection

The icon of the Dormition of the Theotokos shows the Virgin Mary lying peacefully on her funeral bier with folded hands and a serene face, surrounded by the Holy Apostles and bishops who have been miraculously gathered from the ends of the earth to honor her repose. Above her body stands Christ in glory, holding her soul in the form of a swaddled child, revealing that just as she once carried Him into this world, He now carries her into eternal life, making this feast a radiant proclamation of the resurrection of the body and the hope of life everlasting for all believers.​ This 24x19cm metal icon mounted on a wooden base is perfect for a home prayer corner, parish halls, chapels, and memorial spaces, and a very meaningful, blessed gift for the Feast of August 15th or for those who mourn, as a constant reminder that the Mother of God continues to intercede for the living and the departed with unwavering hope in Christ’s victory over death.
