Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and fertility. Her Roman equivalent is the goddess Venus.
According to Greek mythology, Aphrodite was born in Cyprus and was the daughter of Zeus and Dione. She rose from the sea's foam on the shore of Paphos, a location of unique beauty, known today as Petra tou Romiou (Rock of the Greek).
The Eleousa (Virgin of Tenderness) is a type of depiction of the Virgin Mary that represents her compassionate side. She is shown bending to touch her cheek to that of her child, the infant Jesus Christ, who is nestled against her cheek, emphasizing the reciprocal affection and relationship between mother and child.
Aphrodite is the inspiration behind Sister. Like our craftspeople, she is an island native and therefore our Sister and muse. Each pendant is handmade in Lefkara by George and Panagiotis. Read more about our makers .
