Word Made Flesh Icon of Virgin Mary
The hand-painted icon “The Image of the Most Holy Mother of God, the Word Made Flesh” is one of the most significant images in Orthodox iconography dedicated to the Incarnation of the Word of God. This image reflects the moment of the greatest spiritual event – the incarnation of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The icon depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary, usually in a purple mophorion, with the image of Jesus Christ on her breast, which symbolizes that He became Man through His birth from the Virgin Mary. This image is a witness to the incarnation of the Word of God, when God became Man by taking on our human nature to save us from sin and death.
The icon of the Word Being Flesh reminds us of the majesty and mystery of Christ’s incarnation. It embodies the deep spiritual meaning and teaching about the Divine Human, that God became Man to open to us the way to salvation and eternal life.
This image of the Theotokos calls us to adoration and reverence for the majesty of the mystery of the Incarnation. It reminds us of God’s infinite love for humanity and of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who became the center of the Word of God, whose flesh became one of us.
