Old Style Orthodox Icon: Our Lady of the Sign

A traditional Orthodox icon of Our Lady of the Sign, depicting the Theotokos (Mary) in the orans posture with the Christ Child shown in a medallion on her chest. This type emphasizes Mary’s role as intercessor and highlights the mystery of the Incarnation, showing Christ present even before his earthly ministry.

Historically, the “Sign” icon was invoked for protection of cities and the faithful during times of crisis, and many Orthodox churches still celebrate it with prayers for deliverance and guidance. Placing this icon in a home or prayer corner continues the tradition of seeking the Theotokos’ intercession for protection, spiritual insight, and comfort.

Mounted on a hand-carved wooden panel, the 5x7 icon displays subtle relief and texture characteristic of Russian craftsmanship. The reverse bears a stamped seal confirming its origin, and a fitted hook allows for immediate display on a wall or in a home icon corner.

• 5 x 7 inches

Suitable for personal prayer, devotional reflection, or inclusion in a curated collection of sacred icons.
