The Virgin of the Passion is also known as “Our Lady of Perpetual Help.”  Mary is identified as “the Mistress of Angels.” Her gaze is mournful and weary, as if saying, “see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow.” The emotional intensity is also manifested in the Child’s right foot, which fidgets with the left and loses its sandal. The Archangels Michael and Gabriel bear the instruments of the Passion, with their hands covered as a sign of respect. This icon is a reproduction of a Cretan icon from the 16th century.
 
This is a mounted icon with raised borders. Mounted icons are created from quality reproductions of ancient icons and are printed on museum quality art paper with high quality pigment-based inks. The reproductions are mounted on birch veneered plywood and varnished for protection. 
 
All artwork is done in solitude and in prayer, anonymously and with love.
