Our Lady of Palestine is the fitting star of this icon, as she offers her protection to the Holy Land.

Within the border are images calling to mind, The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem, including individually formed three dimensional shields, helmets, even the pilgrim’s shell, along with smaller images of the a select handful of important historical figures.
The original icon was created on a birch panel in the traditional method, using more than 600 sheets of 24k Italian gold leaf.
This truly one of a kind image was created by iconographer Dame Vivian Imbruglia, DHS, for the 2023 Western Lieutenancy Annual Meeting.
