Product Description
Our Lady of Edessa - Madonna di Sant’Alessio (Madonna of St. Alexis; Madonna of Intercession) This ancient Byzantine icon of the Virgin Mary is venerated in the Basilica of Saints Boniface and Alexis on the Aventine Hill in Rome. Tradition holds that it was brought from the East around the 10th century and is one of the oldest Marian icons in the city.
Miracle: The icon is believed to have protected Rome on several occasions, most notably during times of plague and danger. Many faithful testify to graces and healings received through her intercession, which is why she is called the Madonna of Intercession.
The pendant is lovingly handmade by me and measures 1" / 25 mm, not including the bail. Set under glass and sits inside a round high quality pendant tray.
