Mary Icon by essiesue

Mary Icon

This hand painted icon was purchased from the artist by our daughter and her fiance on New Year's Eve at the antique marketplace outside the Nevski Cathedral in Sofia, Bulgaria. They spent Christmas in Greece and New Year's in Bulgaria and the beautiful icon is one of their gifts to us.
Lovely capture and painting
