Metal Greek Orthodox Icon “Panagia Eleousa (Virgin of Tenderness)” 24x19cm on Wooden Base – Byzantine Icon of Mercy and Compassion

“Panagia Eleousa” is one of the most beloved Marian icon types, known as the “Virgin of Tenderness”, where the Mother of God holds the Christ Child close, their cheeks touching in a gentle embrace that expresses deep love, compassion, and divine mercy for the whole world. The Child often wraps His arm around His Mother’s neck or touches her face, while Mary’s gaze combines affection with a quiet sorrow, pointing to Christ’s future Passion and showing that she shares in every human suffering with maternal sympathy and prayer.​ This 24x19cm metal icon mounted on a wooden base is perfect for a home prayer corner, bedroom, nursery, or chapel, and makes a beautiful, blessed gift for families, couples, and anyone seeking consolation and inner peace, as a constant reminder that the Mother of God, the Eleousa, offers unfailing tenderness, mercy, and protection to all who call upon her.
