Our Lady of Tenderness

by Nancy Oliphant

Our Lady of Tenderness Icon by Nancy Oliphant

Format Descriptions    Item Code: NOLAT



Quantity:

Narrative: The Our Lady of Tenderness icon is in the tradition of the Mother of God Eleusa icons. The Greek word eleusa means "compassionate one" implying intimacy, gentleness and grace. The Eleusa image is characterized by the expression of tenderness. The Mother of God is in a caress with the Child. Their cheeks are touching, connecting them to each other, while the gesture of the hands connotes universality. The Virgin offers the Son to man, while the Son offers the Virgin. Mutuality of intention is the emphasis of this particular rendition. The angels hold scrolls musically notated for voice echoing "King of Glory" and "Lord of Hosts."

Prayer Card:
The Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with you!
Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
