| About |
There are a number of Greek Orthodox Christian members here, they will know the meaning of the encripted title upon this submission.
For others;
Panagya or in Greek (as upon submission) refers to The All-holy.
Today is the celebration of "Mary, the mother of Jesus"
If Mary is honored as Theotokos, so too, she is honored because she is Panagia All-Holy. She is the supreme example of the cooperation between God and Man; for God, Who always respects human freedom, did not become incarnate without her free consent which, as Holy Scripture tells us, was freely given: Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word (Luke 1:38). Thus Mary is seen by the Church as the New Eve (as Christ is the New Adam) whose perfect obedience contrasted the disobedience of the First Mother, Eve, in Paradise. As St. Irenaeus says, the knot of Eve's disobedience was loosed through the obedience of Mary; for what Eve, a virgin, bound by her unbelief, that Mary, a virgin, unloosed by her faith [Against the Heresies, III, xxii, 4]. (A Monk of St. Tikhon's Monastery (Comp. & Ed.) (1986).
As with most Orthodox icons of Mary, the letters (as shown on the submission, Mother of God) are usually placed on the left and right parts of the icon.
The submission is from the private collection of the Monks of Sainte Catherine's Monastery in Sinai. It has been occupied continiously since the 3rd. century.
