Can anyone tell me the name of this icon? It is so beautiful. (Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

It’s part of the altarpiece at Annunciation of the Lord parish in Decatur, Alabama.
So, rather than being a traditional icon, it seems to be that they asked an iconographer to take a traditional pose and add in the bread, in reference to I Am The Bread of Life, the Eucharist, and so on-- since it’s standing directly behind the altar.
So it’s custom art, in an iconographic style.
Not that I’ve read any articles about it— but that’s how it strikes me.
Lovely image!
