This tender hand-painted icon depicts the meeting of the Virgin Mary and Saint Elizabeth, a sacred moment filled with joy, humility, and divine grace. Painted in the traditional Byzantine style using egg tempera and adorned with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, bringing warmth and depth to this holy encounter.
According to the Gospel of Luke, as Mary greets Elizabeth, the unborn John the Baptist leaps in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, recognizes the Mother of the Lord. This icon beautifully captures the mystery of divine revelation, the sanctity of life, and the spiritual bond between the two holy women.
