Icon's History

The name "Paramythia," which means comfort or solace, was given to this particular form of the Panagia because her presence brings peace and consolation to the soul. According to Christian tradition, the Panagia of Paramythia at the Holy Monastery of Vatopedi was miraculously saved thanks to the intervention of this specific icon of the Panagia when it was threatened by pirates in the early 14th century. The icon of Panagia is kept in the chapel of the church, where the monks maintain an ever-burning candle and chant supplications daily.

Icon Materials

• The images are constructed from copper, silver-plated with 999/1000 silver, and gold-plated with Au 24-karat gold.
• The frames on the images with glass are made of synthetic material to avoid woodworm or other parasites. They do not require a pest control certificate.
• The rest are made from MDF, lined with high-quality veneer.
• The faces are silk-screen printed or, where this is not possible in order to accurately depict the face, digitally printed with UV colors that remain unchanged over time.
