Virgin Mary is rendered here as Mary the Good Guide (Hodighitria). One of her arms surrounds the Heavenly Child and the other points to Him, as the only way we can take to save our souls. Other variants of Mary Queen of Heaven are Glikophilusa (Sweet, Loving), Oranta (Beseeching) and Galaktotrofusa (Breast-feeding).
