This Orthodox icon, "Our Lady of Life-Giving Font", dates back to 1850. Depicting the Virgin Mary and Child Jesus, it portrays a key event in Christian tradition: the baptism of Christ. The icon's imagery combines the sacred with the earthly, featuring angels, a baptismal font, and figures of the faithful. The work exemplifies the Byzantine tradition of icon painting, which prioritizes spiritual meaning over naturalistic representation. Its richly symbolic imagery and vibrant colors continue to inspire believers and art lovers alike.
