Icon of the Panagia “Mother of Consolation”

This detailed "Mother of Consolation " icon depicts the Virgin Mary carrying her son, child Jesus. In the Byzantine representations, the Child shown here looking toward us with his right hand blessing the people.
 
This early 16th century Greek icon was reproduced in a small monastery of the Eastern Orthodox Church in the beautiful southwest of Wisconsin USA. It is believe to be the largest selection of historical icons produced and distributed anywhere in the world.
