Theotokos Surety of Sinners Framed Canvas Icon

This icon shows the Mother of God holding the Christ Child, who in turn grasps her hand as though sealing a pledge, an image illustrating her role as the Surety, the one who stands as guarantor on behalf of sinners before the judgement of her Son. The title reflects a deep confidence within Orthodox piety that the Theotokos, who bore Christ in her own flesh and stood beside Him even unto the Cross, may be trusted to intercede on behalf of those who feel themselves unworthy to approach Him directly. Far from suggesting that her role replaces the mercy of Christ, the icon affirms instead that her prayers are heard precisely because of her closeness to Him, a mother's pledge offered on behalf of her Son's brothers and sisters by grace. It is a tender and reassuring icon for anyone who struggles to believe themselves worthy of God's mercy.

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)

O Theotokos, surety of sinners, who dost stand as pledge for those who feel themselves unworthy, intercede for us before thy Son, that we may come boldly to receive the mercy He so freely gives. Amen.
