This beautifully hand-painted icon honors Saint Pelagia of Tinos, the humble nun to whom the Virgin Mary appeared in 1822, revealing the location of the miraculous icon of the Annunciation. Rendered in traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and enriched with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, reflecting Saint Pelagia’s grace, humility, and divine mission.
Saint Pelagia is deeply revered in Greece for her obedience and deep faith. Her vision led to the discovery of the wonderworking icon of the Theotokos, and the foundation of the great pilgrimage site, the Church of Panagia Evangelistria on the island of Tinos.
