Madonna and Child Quatrefoil Gold Pendant
€24.00
The Eleousa (Virgin of Tenderness) is a type of depiction of the Virgin Mary that represents her compassionate side. She is shown bending to touch her cheek to that of her child, the infant Jesus Christ, who is nestled against her cheek, emphasizing the reciprocal affection and relationship between mother and child.
On the back is a short prayer written in Cyrillic letters, which is however not readable.
This is a piece of jewellery which is often found in the Russian and Greek Orthodox religion.
Each pendant is handcrafted by two brothers, George and Panagiotis, in the picturesque village of Lefkara, in a workshop they have been running since 1968.

St Christopher and Madonna and Child Gold Pendant
€36.00
St. Christopher, whose story draws on both religious teachings and Ancient Greek mythology, is considered the patron saint of travellers.
A story often told by older generations, he is often depicted as a man of significant physical stature. He devoted himself to helping travellers across a dangerous river where people often drowned. One day, a child approached him and asked to be helped across. St. Christopher obliged. However, as he entered the water, the river rose and the child's weight grew and became extremely heavy. It was only by great exertion that St. Christopher safely delivered the child to the other side. When St. Christopher asked the child why he was so heavy, the child explained that He was Christ and when he carried Him, he also carried the weight of the whole world on his shoulders.
