Icon plated with pure silver representing the Virgin Mary untying knots. This icon has a very strong symbolism. It is made of silver-plated metal, applied to a wooden base with a supporting leg.
Mary Untier the Knots is a devotion to the Virgin Mary that began in 18th century Germany. The devotion is based on a painting of Mary that hangs in the church of St. Peter am Perlach in Augsburg, Germany. The painting depicts Mary untying a knot in a ribbon. The knots in the ribbon are said to symbolize the difficulties and problems people encounter in their lives, and devotion to Mary as the "Undoer of Knots" brings comfort and help in solving these difficulties. The devotion spread to other countries, and now there are many churches and sanctuaries dedicated to Mary around the world.
Dimensions of the icon - 9x11 cm. Its back can be customized by applying a plate engraved with the requested message.
I appreciate the packaging and wrapping like a gift!
