These icons I like huge much, it is something special with them. I have also thought that I could paint them in the future, but maybe in my own stile.
I dessa ikoner finns det någonting som jag gillar, och jag har tänkt att jag skall måla dem - nångång. Kanske jag gör av dem min egen tolknig, för ibland är ikoner väldigt gamla, färger har bleknat och ibland kan de vara skadade. Men i sådana fall, försöker jag fundera hur ikonen såg ut när den var ny.
Theotokos Gerondissa 15thc, Pantocrator Monastery Mount Athos |
Luonnollisen kokoinen ikoni “Thotokos Gerondissa” 1500 -luvulta
The story (tarina, berättelse): The Theotokos is depicted at full length. The Icon also depicts a vessel of oil as a reminder of a miraculous event: following prayers said by the Abbot before the miraculous Icon, oil multiplied to fill nearly empty monastic vessels.
Currently, the Icon is not in the Altar of the Cathedral Church where it had formerly been kept, but rather at the Northeastern column supporting the cupola. The Icon has been restored and is covered with a silver riza.
According to pious tradition in the Pantokrator Monastery, during a Saracen attack upon this Monastery, the Gerondissa Icon was cast into a well near the Monastery. One of Saracens, maddened with hatred for Christian holy things, wanted to break up the Icon into pieces and use it to light his pipe. However, the Lord did not allow that act of sacrilege. At that very moment, the madman lost his sight. Then the barbarians threw the Icon into the well, where it lay for 80 years.
There it was later found at the direction of relatives of the Saracen who for his audacity had been punished with blindness. Before his death, he repented of his madness; hoping to receive as a result some easing of his fate, he directed that after his death, they should go to Holy Mount Athos and find the Icon of the Theotokos. Obeying the terms of his will, his relatives arrived at Athos and told the local monks where the Holy Icon had been thrown. With great solemnity, the Holy Icon was taken out of the well and carried into the Pantocrator monastery Cathedral Church.

This
icon depicts the crowning of the Holy Virgin by the Angels in the Garden
of Heaven. The symbolism of the image
refers to the biblical text: "A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse; a
spring shut up, a fountain scaled..." An enclosed garden is a symbol of
the Ever-Virgin Mary, the red carnation in her right hand a symbol of the blood
the Savior shed for us.
