Origin: Reproduction of a 12th-century original held at the Archepiscopal Museum in Utrecht

Meaning & Intention

This plaque reproduces a 12th-century icon of the Virgin and Child, a devotional image copied and venerated for generations as a point of connection to something larger than the self.

The Greek letters flanking the figures, IC XC and MP ΘΥ, are traditional abbreviations for 'Jesus Christ' and 'Mother of God,' marking this as an icon meant for contemplation rather than decoration.

Stars set into Mary's mantle, at each shoulder and across her brow, appear throughout Byzantine iconography as a sign of her enduring purity. The small orb she holds echoes the cosmos itself, the vastness the Christ Child is said to enter as a small, dependent being cradled in his mother's arms.

Two attendant angels rise in the clouds above, completing a composition that has appeared in churches and homes for centuries, honoring the tenderness between mother and child alongside the weight of what that child represents.

Essence & Elements

Intention: Comfort, protection, grace, love

Symbol: Byzantine icon of the Virgin and Child

Ideal for: Home altar, prayer corner, or a gift for anyone drawn to imagery of maternal love and grace

Suggested mantra: Mother, hold me in grace

Questions & Guidance

Does this suit both Catholic and Orthodox devotion?

Yes. The Byzantine composition and Greek inscriptions place it within the shared iconographic tradition of both, and it works well in either a Catholic or Orthodox prayer corner.

Is it heavy to hang?

At about three pounds, it hangs securely from a picture hook set into a wall stud or a rated drywall anchor. Check that your fixing is rated for the weight before mounting.

How might I use it in a home prayer corner?

Set it at eye level, alone or above a small shelf that holds a candle or offering. Pause before it morning or evening, reciting the suggested mantra or resting attention on the image.

Would this work as a gift?

Yes, especially for a baptism, a new mother, a bereavement, or someone building a home altar. A short note about why you chose the image gives the gift more weight.

Too big

The boxes were much bigger than I thought they would be and seemed to be lacking in the quality I'm used to seeing in your products. I have returned both boxes via UPS and am awaiting my refund.

Understated design, well made

I wanted a simple reminder to take a moment to breathe throughout the day. This ring tells me to do just that. It's solid stainless steel, so it's durable. The embossing (engraving?) is clear and consistent from one letter to the next.
