Jerusalem Icon of the Mother of God Gift Set

This set contains a Jerusalem Icon of the Mother of God, a “Christ the True Vine” icon, a Nikolaos the Wonderworker depiction, a special prayer medallion made of wood, bottles of myrrh anointing oil, holy water from the Jordan River, salt and soil of the Holy Land.
The centerpiece of this gift set is the Jerusalem Icon of the Mother of God, which was painted by the holy Evangelist St. Luke fifteen years after the Ascension of the Lord and within the lifetime of the Holy Mother. People pray before it in times of worry, sorrow and sadness; asking for family protection, conceiving a child, healing souls’ ailments or when away on a trip.

 “Christ the True Vine” is a rare and old icon known since 15th century; the depiction in this gift set displays the Savior against the tree, while the Apostles are on its branches. Christians invoke Nikolaos the Wonderworker to guide them on a journey, in daily routine, and to avoid disasters and famine. The saint’s icon in this gift set bears the inscription: “Let your home be blessed with love, happiness and success”.

 Myrrh anointing oil is rubbed by laypeople to sore spots; holy water from the Jordan River is known for its beneficial power. Salt and soil keep the divine grace of the Holy Land and translate it to people inside the house. They may also be applied to the body without the need of opening the bottles.

 This Holy Land gift set from Jerusalem was blessed on the Stone of Anointing at Jerusalem’s Temple of the Holy Sepulcher, and will be a graceful gift both for people new in Christian faith and regular churchgoers. Another option would be to buy a Jerusalem Icon of the Mother of God as a separate present, but this comprehensive gift set contains the most venerated images and objects, blessing with divine grace all the rooms of your home.
