This meticulously hand-painted Greek Orthodox Byzantine Ypapanti icon depicts the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, a key event in the liturgical calendar. Crafted on a durable wood panel, this icon features the holy figures of Saint Joseph, the Prophetess Anne, and the Virgin Mary, who is presented with the Christ Child by the priest Saint Simeon. The icon is adorned with rich colors: a golden background, deep red framing, and vibrant, traditional Byzantine tones that bring out the spiritual significance of the scene.
Saint Joseph is depicted offering two white pigeons, symbolizing purity and devotion, while dressed in earthy green and red garments. The Prophetess Anne stands beside him, clothed in green and gold, holding a scroll inscribed with the phrase: “This child has established Heaven and Earth,” written in Greek Byzantine script. The Virgin Mary is draped in traditional red and green garments, symbolizing her role as Theotokos (God-bearer). The priest, Saint Simeon, receives the Christ Child with reverence, symbolizing Jesus’ entry into the temple and fulfilling the prophecy.

Certified by the Greek Ministry of Civilization, it includes an Authenticity Certification as a recognized piece of contemporary religious art, crafted with techniques that honor the timeless tradition of Orthodox iconography.
