In an Orthodox home, a vigil lamp marks the holy corner - a place where an icon is not merely decoration but the center of prayer. This piece holds the icon of the Mother of God in the Eleusa (Tenderness) type: the Theotokos and the Christ Child cheek to cheek, in the quiet embrace that iconography has known for centuries. Set into a dark MDF panel with an arched recess, the icon appears embedded like a miniature chapel niche. The Greek inscriptions ΜΡ ΘΥ and ΙΣ ΧΣ follow the canonical iconographic tradition.
The piece stands on its own thanks to a rounded wooden base designed to hold an oil vigil lamp - a kandilo in the full sense of the word. Made in our workshop in Petrovčić, near Belgrade, it comes with a certificate of authenticity and is ready for your holy corner from the first day.
