Description from the seller

A very fitting gift for the Christmas season. Discover the timeless beauty of our hand-painted icon of Saint Nicholas. The icon of Saint Nicholas depicts the Saint Nicholas of Myra, who is considered one of the most well-known saints in Christianity. He was a bishop in the 4th century and is renowned for his miracles, generosity, and aid to the needy. This unique icon is not only a work of art but also a testament to ancient painting techniques that have been preserved for centuries.

Our icons are crafted with natural wax, a material known for its exceptional stability. This ancient painting technique has proven its worth over centuries and is a guarantee of the longevity of our artworks. The icons from the first centuries are the best proof that wax endures through time and preserves the beauty of the colors. Every detail is lovingly painted with wax tempera on wood and decorated with genuine 22.5-karat gold leaf.

The icon of Saint Nicholas is additionally coated with a varnish that not only resists mechanical influences but also provides effective protection against harmful UV radiation. This ensures that the color intensity remains preserved over the years, and the icon continues to shine in full splendor even after decades.

Whether as a personal devotional object, a gift for a loved one, or a stylish decorative piece for your home – this icon is a truly meaningful item that touches hearts and adds spiritual depth. Saint Nicholas, known for his kindness and generosity, will always accompany and inspire you and your loved ones.

Let yourself be enchanted by the magic of this handcrafted icon.
