The icon-fresco of the Theotokos "Eleovrytisa" ("Oil Multiplier") at the Pantokratoros Monastery of Holy Mount Athos is a copy of the icon of the Mother of God Herondissa. The fresco is located in the analogion, above the vessel, at the place where the miracle of the appearance of oil occurred, at a time when there was none of it in the monastery. It is evident that another icon of the Virgin, most likely the Herondissa, was previously situated in this place.
In 1845, after the miracle, an icon of the Mother of God was painted and placed above the vessel, which has survived to this day. The icon depicts the miracle through which Theotokos Herondissa was also called Eleovrytisa. At that time, the Mother of God repeatedly assisted the monastery, satisfying its need for oil. On the first day of the miracle, the monastery fathers emptied the vessel and never refilled it again, as a sign of respect and in hope of the blessing of the Theotokos Herondissa.
In the difficult times of the German occupation, the Mother of God helped the monastery once again. A ship carrying weapons to the Middle East set sail from the island of Lesbos. This cargo was supplemented with 100 vessels of oil. During the journey, Theotokos Herondissa appeared to the captain in a dream and demanded a change of course to deliver this oil to the Pantokratoros Monastery. Thus, they managed to avoid encountering the Germans and safely delivered the oil to its final destination. The cargo arrived just as the oil from the main vessel of the monastery had run out.
Inscriptions on the fresco reads, "Mother of God, Holy Herondissa". To the left and right of the Mother of God, the cellarer and the abbot of the monastery are depicted. The fresco is dated 1845 and belongs to the hand of Nikifor II from the workshop of icon painters located in Karyes.
