In the world of Eastern Orthodox Christianity the Holy Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, is the comfort of every afflicted and persecuted person in this vain world of injustice and despair.
I have created an embroidery on card to honour the Dormition (which means, “going to sleep”) of the Blessed Mother Mary, which is celebrated annually on August 15 by Christians around the world.
On the Greek island of Tinos the joyful celebration takes on an official character with the Greek political and presidential leadership participating in the festivities.
This artwork will be granted as a gift to His Beatitude Christodoulos, Archbishop of Athens and all Greece.
