About the Entrance of the Theotokos icon

The Entrance of the Theotokos icon belongs to the compositional type of iconography where several figures and structures are depicted.

In the centre of the icon stands the Virgin Mary, dressed in a maphorion - the upper garment of a married woman. To the left of her are her parents - the holy and righteous Joachim and Anna. They brought Mary as a gift to God when she was three years old. Behind the parents are pious virgins with candles in their hands, who, according to tradition, went with Mary to the Jerusalem temple.

The church is often depicted on the icon in the form of a tabernacle. The red fabric between the structures symbolises God's protection. The High Priest Zacharias meets the Most Pure Virgin. It is he, according to tradition, who is the father of John the Baptist. On the icon, a ladder of fifteen steps can be seen that Mary ascended without the help of her parents. Zacharias introduces the Mother of God into the Holy of Holies, where not only women but also ordinary priests were forbidden to enter, and only the high priest could enter once a year.

The Virgin Mary is depicted for the second time at the top of the icon, being in the Holy of Holies, which reflects her spiritual height. An angel brings her heavenly food.

Feast day December 4.
