This Icon is a precise copy of old Byzantine icon artistically created on canvas with genuine hagiography colors, overlasting in time. Stamped with the weight of pure Silver 925 Degrees combined with metallic or synthetic sublayer and covered with special protective varnish. The certificate of its Authenticity is attached in the back of the icon. Extremely beautiful purple, gold and silver appearance.
A great fighter against the iconoclasts, St. John Damascene was accused of being an enemy of the state in which he lived, and as punishment, the Caliph ordered that one of his hands be chopped off. Afterwards, St. John took the severed hand, prayed in front of the icon of the Theotokos and fell asleep. The Theotokos wrought the miracle of re-attaching the dead hand of her servant and bringing it back to life. When he awoke, he found that his hand was completely healed.
In honor of that healing, he made a silver votive offering in the shape of a hand and placed it on the icon in such a way that it appears that the Virgin Mary has a third hand.
Icon is on Mahogany wood and can stand by iteself. Please look the detailed pictures below.
