Virgin of the Sign
Collection by Milos & Slavica
In 1998, Milos was commissioned by the Holy Trinity Orthodox Church in Bradford to paint Our Lady of the Sign for their altar wall. The icon depicts Jesus at the moment of his conception in the womb of the Virgin (which is celebrated nine months before Christmas).
