This sacred hand-painted icon depicts the Theotokos Phaneromeni (Φανερωμένη), the revealed and manifest Mother of God, who is especially venerated on the island of Lefkada. Crafted in the traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and enriched with authentic 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on hand-carved, asymmetrical wood, expressing both beauty and deep spiritual resonance.
According to Orthodox tradition, the icon of Panagia Phaneromeni miraculously appeared as a sign of divine presence and protection. She is known as the patroness of Lefkada and a powerful intercessor for healing, guidance, and mercy. The historic monastery bearing her name stands on a hill above the island, where the faithful have sought her help for centuries.
