Virgin Mary Sweet Kiss in Vintage style with Aging

The image of Glycophyousa was rescued from the iconoclasm and miraculously transferred to Athos. It was the property of Victoria, the prious wife of iconoclastic Senator Simeon, who, in order not to surrender it, threw her into the sea. The image, standing upright in the waves, reached the Arsana of the Monastery of Philotheos, where it was received with great honor and joy by the abbot and the fathers of the Monastery, who had been notified by the revelation of the Virgin Mary. At the point of the coast, where they placed the image, a holy water was welled up.
