Here is a link. scoll down and you will see it in the 3rd column titled Our lady of Humility. http://www.olphnm.org/OLPH_Website/Icons_2.html

I saw the other thumbnails and the masters icons show on the right "The Icon not made by hands" and on the left the "Theotokos of Tenderness". I thought the left icon should always be the Theotokos AND infant Christ to show his First coming into the world, and the right as his Second coming as portrayed by the Risen Christ. http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Qy3tQN9vFOA/S9MqMVh-RsI/AAAAAAAAAn4/ZCI1XZnUGt0/CN8D9069.JPG Last edited by Little Boy Lost; 02/19/11 04:17 AM.
