This luminous hand-painted icon portrays Our Lady of the Angels, a title of the Virgin Mary celebrated for her role as Queen of Heaven and protector of the faithful. Depicted here with influences from the Carmelite tradition and the mystical vision of Blessed Marianna Fontanella, the icon radiates peace, purity, and divine maternal care. Created in the revered Byzantine style with egg tempera and adorned with genuine 22K gold leaf, it is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood.
The Virgin is shown surrounded by angels, reflecting her exalted place among the heavenly hosts. Through her intercessions, she offers comfort, guidance, and spiritual refuge to those who seek her aid. This icon speaks to the heart of all who trust in her loving protection and heavenly grace.
