THEOTOKOS ICON (TROJERUCICA)
This is a reproduction of the three-handed Theotokos/Madonna icon at the Serbian monastery on Mt. Athos. It is one of our “decorative” or “mute” icons — it is merely a reproduction of an image, as opposed to our “talking” icons, which display quotes from Scripture when touched.
Our icons are created for private use and display in churches and other places in SL. They should not be resold or adapted for resale. Their size and position can be modified. Copy and Transfer permissions depend upon the particular version of the icon purchased.
ABOUT THIS ICON
This icon of Mary and Jesus is called “Trojerucica” (“three-handed”) because of the additional silver hand in the lower left corner. According to legend, it was in the possession of John of Damascus in the seventh century, and played a role in the miraculous restitution of his hand, which had been chopped off in punishment by Caliph al-Walid I. Art historians think it more likely that it was created in the fourteenth century. It is one of the most important Serbian Orthodox icons, and was at various times present in the monasteries of Studenica and Hilandar. It currently resides on Mt. Athos (Greece). Due to its age, the image is in the public domain. More information on this icon can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trojeručica&oldid=849582940 .
