Hand crafted, Hand engraved, hand painted. TARNISH FREE SILVER will never tarnish. In the Kykkos Monastery of Cyprus there is the well-known icon of Panagia Eleousa (of Kykkos), which presents the Virgin Mary on the right side. The legend of the icon of Panagia Kykkos is dramatic. The image is reputed and respected throughout the Orthodox World. It is one of the four icons of the Virgin Mary attributed to the Apostle Luke. The Panagia of Kykkos, painted by Apostle Luke just seven years after the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, was transferred by the Apostle himself to Egypt after the Death of the Virgin Mary. The image remained there until the Christians, of whom they were guarded, were captured by the pirates. To save her from desecration, they threw her into the sea. Two Byzantine boats appeared, and after they chased away the pirates, they rescued the image. Emperor Alexios sent Duke Manuel Voutomytis, in Cyprus as governor. One day, when he was hunted by the mountains, he lost his friends and stayed alone. Where he sought to find his comrades, he suddenly found a cave in which an ascetic lived, the monk Isaiah. The governor asked the monk if he had seen his friends go from there. Isaiah did not give any answer, he got very angry and as a result he beat the old man and left. Within days, the duke was”hit”by an incurable disease, a kind of paralysis, called salialgia. Then followed a series of dreams. First, Governor Voutomytis, saw God in a dream of telling him that he would be cured if he begged the ascetic monk to forgive him, and when Boutomoustis complied with these counseling, he was cured. Meanwhile, the monk Isaiah himself dreamt that the Virgin Mary appeared to him and told him that he and Voutomytis must go to Constantinople and bring her image to Cyprus. When they arrived in Constantinople, they found that the Emperor was reluctant to give the icon to them. The emperor’s daughter suddenly suffered the same illness as the governor had before. With a heavy form of saliva. So the ICON OF THE VIRGIN MARY CAME TO CYPRUS and ALL THE TREES WERE KNEELING DOWN TO WELCOME HER.
