Mileševac Glykofilousa Theotokos – Serbian Orthodox Icon 51 × 39 cm

The glass icon of Bogorodica (Mother of God) depicts one of the most central and revered representations in the Orthodox tradition. As the mother of Jesus Christ, Bogorodica holds a special place in the spiritual life of the Orthodox Church and is revered by believers as a powerful intercessor in prayer.

The veneration of Bogorodica has been deeply rooted in Christian faith since the earliest centuries. Her icons can be found in Orthodox churches and monasteries, as well as in the prayer corners of devout families. They symbolize humility, devotion to God, maternal love, and intercession, accompanying many believers throughout their lives.

This special glass icon is crafted by Mileševac in Serbia, with whom Svetazvezda works directly. Mileševac was founded out of a desire to combine Orthodox tradition, art, and contemporary craftsmanship to create icons that can find a permanent place in a family's home for generations.

The depiction of Bogorodica is applied using UV direct printing on glass. The transparent background around the depiction creates a special spatial effect, allowing the motif to appear differently depending on the light and surroundings. The glass is surrounded by a solid wooden frame, available in various finishes.

For Mileševac, an icon is not merely a decorative object. It is intended to accompany believers in prayer and become a visible part of Orthodox faith and family life. Inspired by medieval frescoes, Serbian monasteries, and traditional Orthodox art, the icons are created with particular attention to quality, durability, and respect for Orthodox tradition.

With its size of 51 × 39 cm, the glass icon is particularly suitable for a central place in the home or in a prayer corner. It also makes a special gift for baptisms, weddings, Slava, housewarmings, or other significant family and church occasions.
