Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Mary I really don't know much about Icons, but they do fascinate me. I did some checking and here is what I found out:

The Icon goes through the details of the book of Tobit, particularly the scenes of Tobias and St. Raphael the Archangel. Usually the biblical icons are retelling the complete story. If you read the story of Tobit, the icon will "come to life."

Hope this helps!
