The Virgin Mary “Gerontissa” is the miraculous protecting icon of the Holy Monastery of Pantokratoros on Mount Athos, where the Theotokos is honored as the loving Eldress and Abbess who cares for every monk and pilgrim. Her name is linked both to the miracle of the dying elder abbot, whom she urgently asked the priest to commune before his repose, and to the famous “jar of oil” miracle, when, in a time of great scarcity, an empty oil vessel overflowed and filled all the monastery’s containers. Small wooden icon 10x7cm, perfect for a compact home prayer corner, bedside table, or hospital room, and a blessed gift for the elderly, the sick, clergy, and caregivers who seek the tender care and providence of the Mother of God “Gerontissa” in illness, old age, financial hardship, and every trial.
