Description
Eleusa Mother of God: history and devotional meaning
Eleusa means “tender mercy.” In this iconographic type, the bond between Mary and Christ becomes a meditation on divine love entering human history.
Iconography and theology
The Child’s arm encircles Mary while their faces touch. Her thoughtful expression keeps the image from sentimentality and points toward the sacrificial destiny of Christ.
For prayer and sacred spaces
This religious icon is suited to a home prayer corner, chapel, parish office, or as a meaningful Catholic gift. Its purpose is devotional: to support attentive prayer and lead contemplation toward Christ.
Crafted in Poland
Art Christiana produces the icon in Poland on a carefully prepared linden-wood board. The surface is double-primed, enriched with hand-applied metal leaf, and finished with a direct image-transfer process. A certificate and hanging fixture are fitted on the reverse, and the icon is supplied in a protective presentation box.
