Metal Greek Orthodox Icon “Panagia Dexiokratousa (Virgin holding Christ with Her Right Hand)” 24x19cm on Wooden Base – Byzantine Hodegetria Icon from Greece

“Panagia Dexiokratousa” is a variant of the Hodegetria type in which the Mother of God holds Christ on her right arm, literally “the one who holds with her right hand”, indicating that she shows and presents Christ to the world as the only true Way, Truth, and Life. The Virgin is usually depicted from the waist up, with her left hand placed prayerfully on her chest, while the young Christ sits on her right arm, blessing with His right hand and holding a scroll in His left as the incarnate Word of God and Teacher of divine wisdom.​ This 24x19cm metal icon mounted on a wooden base is perfect for a home prayer corner, church narthex, office, or study, and makes a meaningful, blessed gift for those seeking guidance, discernment, and spiritual direction, as a constant reminder that the Mother of God, as Dexiokratousa, both intercedes for the faithful and leads them securely to her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
