Panagia Glykophilousa
Known also as Virgin and Child Glykophilousa, ”Sweet kissing” , this representation is a variant of the Eleusa theme (see canon), characterized by a more tender relation between Mother and Child, their faces touching affectionately. In most of the cases, the Child is shown encircling the Virgin's neck with one arm while caressing her cheek with the other. This variant has a sub-variant known as the Virgin with Child Pelagonitissa (see canon).
