The Saint depicted above her head is her dearly beloved friend, and the patron Saint of the Convent over which she presided: St Abu Sefein (otherwise known as St Philopateer Merkourios). The barely-to-be-seen background image is of the Convent itself. |  | A copy of a rare contemporary icon of St Severus, Patriarch of Antioch (+538) purchased from the bookshop of Deir al-Surian ('the Syrian Monastery') in Wadi el-Natrun, Egypt. |

A photo of the famous 14th century Coptic Icon of the Theotokos located in the Coptic Orthodox Convent of St Mary in Haret Zuela. Pope Matthew I of Alexandria (14th Century) used to converse directly with the Holy Virgin through this icon; she would console and advise him in times of temptation and trouble. According to the present superior of the Convent, Tamav Mariam, the icon continues to work wonders and miracles. It has, on a number of occasions, streamed forth holy oil and a number of people have reported powerful responses to their prayers before this icon.
