The Panagia Portaitissa is an Eastern Orthodox icon of the Virgin Mary in the Georgian Iviron Monastery on Mount Athos in Greece, where it is believed to have been since the year 999. It was painted by Luke the Evangelist. A unique characteristic of this icon is what appears to be scar on the Virgin Mary's right cheek of her chin. The tradition says that the icon was stabbed by a soldier in Nicaea during the period of Byzantine iconoclasm. When the icon was stabbed, blood miraculously flowed out of the wound. The feast day of the icon is on February 12.

Care Instructions
My handpainted icons are made from natural materials that constantly interact with their environment. These above materials are sensitive to extreme light, heat and humidity.
Handling the icons should also be done cautiously; oils from our hands can stain their shiny surface. Dust can softly be removed with a pure white cloth.
Following the above simple instructions will guarantee that your icon will age gracefully through time and will be enjoyed by the generations to come.
