This sacred icon depicts the Mother of God of Tenderness, also known as the Eleousa (“Loving Mercy”) type. In this deeply moving composition, the Christ Child rests tenderly against His Mother, expressing divine love, compassion, and intimate mercy.

The Mother of God gently embraces Christ, while two angels are shown above, witnessing the mystery of the Incarnation. The posture and closeness between Mother and Child reveal both Christ’s humanity and the boundless maternal love of the Theotokos.
