The Virgin Nativity Cathedral
|
 Representation of the Theotokos with a candle in her hands corresponds to the likening of Virgin Mary to a “beacon-light shining to those in darkness”, the people in the abyss as contained in Eikos 11. A brilliant light produced by the Mother of God is the incarnated Saviour whose birth was predicted by the prophets who flank the Theotokos. |
