The Panagia Ierosolymitissa icon (Greek: Παναγία Ιεροσολυμίτισσα) or the All-Holy Lady of Jerusalem icon of the Mother of God is an acheiropoieton located in the Tomb of Mary in Gethsemane in Jerusalem. The icon is considered by Orthodox Christians to be the patroness of Jerusalem.[1] Although occasionally confused, the Panagia Ierosolymitissa icon is distinct from the Jerusalem Icon of the Mother of God.
