Handmade Wooden Greek Orthodox Icon “Panagia Glykofilousa (Red)” 16x12cm – Byzantine Icon of the Virgin of the Sweet Kiss

“Panagia Glykofilousa” (Virgin of the Sweet Kiss) shows the Theotokos tenderly embracing the Christ Child, with their cheeks touching and the Child’s arm wrapped around His Mother’s neck or gently caressing her face, highlighting the deep, affectionate bond of love between Mother and Son and her merciful closeness to every believer. The rich red background or garments symbolize divine love and the coming Passion, while Mary’s gentle yet slightly sorrowful gaze indicates that, even in this moment of sweetness, she contemplates her Son’s sacrificial death and compassionately shares in the sufferings of all people.​ This 16x12cm handmade wooden icon with red Byzantine styling is perfect for a home prayer corner, bedroom, children’s room, or as a blessed gift for couples, families, and godchildren, serving as a constant reminder that the Sweet‑kissing Mother of God lovingly holds and protects all who seek her intercession.
