Blachernitissa

7th-century Byzantine icon of the Virgin Mary

Blachernitissa, also called Theotokos of Blachernae or Our Lady of Blachernae, is a 7th-century encaustic icon representing the Most Holy Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary. It is also the name given to the Church built in honour of the Virgin Mary in the Blachernae section of Constantinople. The name Blachernae possibly derived from the name of a Vlach, who came to Constantinople from the lower Danube.
