Description

The icon was written by Fr Arsenius of Saint Mount Athos in the 1980s. The image of the Mother of God is depicted as the ‘guardian’ of the Holy Mountain. She stands on the peninsula holding a pastoral in one hand and often blessing with the other. On top of the icon, Athosian saints are depicted praying towards the Mother of God.
