Iconography and Symbolism:
The Eleusa, meaning “Tenderness,” is one of the most beloved iconographic types of the Mother of God.
The Christ Child’s embrace expresses the love and trust between Mother and Son, while the Theotokos gently holds Him close.
The traditional red and blue garments of the Theotokos emphasize her sacred dignity and role as the Mother of God. The gold details on her garments and the luminous gold background signify holiness and heavenly glory. Christ’s halo identifies Him as the divine Son and reinforces the sacred character of the image.
