This icon comes from the Carmelite Monastery of Nuns in Harissa, Lebanon. It is entitled "Transparency in Transmission". Saint Maravillas is shown holding a medallion of Our Lord Jesus Christ over her heart, revealing her intimate relationship with the Word Incarnate. Her right hand is lifted up as a sign of her intercession for all humanity. The Blessed Virgin and Child appear in the upper right, and the blue circle in the upper left symbolizes the divinity of God hidden in the night of faith.
