Visiting Thessaloniki for a few days, we viewed this Icon in the museum of a Byzantine church. I was impressed with the image, this is from the 14th century. Always appreciate comments and advice. Many thanks.

Vicki, you have a great capture of the Madonna with the infant Jesus turning towards us and raising his hand to us in benediction. Thanks for this post, in this, the season honoring his birth.
Many many years ago, my wife was in Thessaloniki, and speaks highly of it still. She described the beauty of the beaches and the region. Photographing images like this are challenges - lighting, surrounding space, et al - you bit a great job on this one!
