Theotokos Eleftherotria Liberator Icon

This premium Orthodox icon is made using the traditional silkscreen technique on cotton canvas, mounted on solid natural carved wood with a raised border (kovcheg). The background features a polished gold gilding effect (burnished mirror finish), symbolizing the divine radiance and uncreated light of God.

It includes an integrated wooden stand for display on a desk, shelf, or prayer corner, and a hole on the back for wall hanging. The icon is varnished for lasting protection and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Iconography & Symbolism
The Theotokos Eleftherotria Icon (Greek: Παναγία Ἐλευθερώτρια, meaning “Our Lady the Liberator”) depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, who raises His right hand in blessing while holding a scroll in His left — a symbol of divine wisdom and freedom from sin and bondage.

This icon is especially venerated in Greece, where the Theotokos Eleftherotria is honored as the Liberator of the faithful from danger, oppression, and fear. She intercedes for those seeking deliverance — whether from illness, captivity, or spiritual struggle.

Above her head are the Greek letters ΜΡ ΘΥ (Meter Theou), meaning “Mother of God,” and beside Christ, IC XC, meaning “Jesus Christ.” Within His halo, the cross bears Ω Ο Ν (Omega, Omicron, Nu) – “He Who Is.”

The name Eleftherotria (Liberator) reminds the faithful that true freedom is found through Christ and the intercession of His Holy Mother.
