Virgin Mary Orthodox Icons

Choose a hand-painted Orthodox icon of the Virgin Mary from the Mstyora Icons workshop. This category includes traditional images of the Mother of God for home prayer corners, wedding blessings, family gifts, parish churches, chapels, monasteries, and iconostases.

Each icon is painted by hand on a prepared wooden board using traditional icon-painting materials: levkas/gesso, egg tempera, natural pigments, gold leaf, and filigree or chased decoration when included in the design. You can choose a finished icon from the catalog or request a custom size and composition.

Are Virgin Mary icons used in wedding icon pairs?
