Metal Greek Orthodox Icon “Panagia Eptaspathi (Virgin Mary with Seven Swords)” 24x19cm on Wooden Base – Byzantine Icon of Sorrows from Greece

“Panagia Eptaspathi”, also known as “Virgin Mary of the Seven Swords” or “Our Lady of Sorrows”, portrays the Theotokos alone, with seven swords piercing her heart – three on each side and one from below – expressing the prophecy of Saint Simeon and the fullness of the grief she endured as the Mother who witnessed the Passion and Crucifixion of her Son. The seven swords symbolize both the deep inner sorrow of the Mother of God and the victory over various forms of evil (magic, illness, injustice, family troubles, slander, deception, and spiritual anguish), which is why the faithful venerate this icon asking that hardened hearts be softened, conflicts healed, and hatred transformed into repentance and mercy.​ This 24x19cm metal icon mounted on a wooden base is perfect for a home prayer corner, chapels, counseling rooms, or memorial spaces, and makes a powerful, blessed gift for people going through grief, division, or emotional turmoil, as a constant reminder that the Mother of God shares in human suffering and, through her intercession, helps turn sorrow into healing and reconciliation.
