Panagia In Lament - Byzantine Icon

Handmade Byzantine Icon of Panagia in Lament.

The faithful father of the child, promised the Virgin Mary that he would build a Church in her honor, but he did not know to which icon of hers to dedicate the Church.

Panagia listened to his question and appeared in a vision, ordering him to visit father Joasaph on Mount Athos and tell him to paint an icon of Panagia In Lament , an icon that did not exist until then.

The humble Christian told his story to Father Joasaph and he painted the picture with instructions given to him by the Virgin Mary in his sleep.
