Actual Size (not shown): 5 7/8" x 7" Gold plated Pewter with enamel. The type for the "Directress," or "Odigitria," icon of the Mother of God was first painted by the Evangelist Luke. Icons painted after this type have been the source of healing, guidance and protection from enemies. When the armies of the Persian King Chozroes and the leader of the Scythians attacked Constantinople, Patriarch Sergius carried the icon around the city walls and their enemies fell into confusion and fled.   < Back To order by Phone call 1-800-798-6173 Home | Our Collection | Contact Us © Gallery Byzantium Ipswich, MA 01938
