This deeply venerated hand-painted icon presents the Theotokos “Trojeručica”, or “Three-Handed Mother of God,” a miraculous image associated with healing and the monastic traditions of Mount Athos and Serbia. Painted in the traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and adorned with authentic 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, capturing both mystery and grace.
The icon’s third hand—painted in silver or included in the composition—is linked to the miracle of Saint John of Damascus, whose severed hand was miraculously restored after fervent prayer before the Virgin’s image. In gratitude, he offered a silver hand to the icon, which later became part of the sacred depiction. The Trojeručica is considered a wonderworking icon, especially for healing and guidance.
