Orthodox Icons of Mary

Name icons are especially meaningful for people whose names coincide with the names of Saints. An icon of the Mother of God can be given as a gift for name days, birthdays, and other spiritual and life events, such as the consecration of a home or a wedding. It may also be purchased for personal adoration and prayer.
The name Mary is of Hebrew origin, with variant meanings of “bitter”, “desirable”, and “serene”. The name Mary is the most common name in the world because that is the name of Jesus’ mother. In the Old Testament, this name is also given to the Jewish prophetess, the elder sister of Aaron and Moses – Mary (Mariam, Mariam).
Icons dedicated to the name Mary are among the most significant icons in Orthodoxy. The name Mary has a special place in Christian tradition, associated with the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ.
Icons of the name Mary often depict the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is the central figure in these icons. She may be depicted with the infant Jesus in her arms or in other symbolic scenes from her life, such as meeting the Archangel Gabriel or during a visit to her relative Elizabeth. Icons of Mary may also contain other symbols associated with her veneration, such as flowers, crowns, or angel wings.
Icons of the name Mary have a special spiritual significance for believers. Virgin Mary is considered a prayerful patroness and intercessor before God.
