Uninfected Virgin Mary with Grid Frame

The name of the Virgin Mary comes from the hymn of the Supper "Aspile, Aminte, Achrante..." composed by the monk Paul of the monastery of Benefactor. The Untainted in Orthodox iconography also bears the name Holy Mary of Passion, because Christ defends the two Angels depicted on either side of the Virgin Mary and holds in their hands the symbols of passion, namely the Cross, the Spear and the Sponge.
