In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

John 1:1-5

This Holy Icon shows our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in a Pantocrator depiction, His left hand holding open the Gospel and His right hand blessing the viewer. The Gospel displays the following verse from Matthew: "Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls." Matthew 11:29. 

***

This icon is made of solid, natural limewood (Tilia) that has been prepared by hand using traditional methods and organic materials. The background consists of 22 Karat gold leaves that were meticulously applied by hand, piece by piece. Subtle connecting lines and brush strokes may be visible on the gold leaves and are a testament to the artisan's hand, making each piece entirely unique.
About the Iconographer

Nikolaos Galanopoulos completed several years of study at the Athoniada School in Mount Athos, Greece. He then studied Byzantine iconography under the highly skilled resident monks of the Skete of St Anna in Mount Athos, Greece. He was also a student of Elder Meletios Syketotis of Karyes who is known for reviving the Byzantine iconography technique in Mount Athos. Iconography by Nikolaos Galanopoulos can be found in churches all over Greece.

Compare Dimensions

Our most popular dimensions are pictured, to scale. 

Backside Details

Icons of smaller dimensions are naturally sustainable over time, and experience less structural stress. As such, you will find that the backside of smaller Holy Icons is flat and proportional to their shape. 

Backside Details - Larger Dimensions

Solid wooden icons of larger dimensions are prone to bending and damaging as time passes. Fortunately, our Holy Icons are supported by two additional, horizontal wooden protective panels on the backside. These panels bolster the icon and allow it to sustain its shape, ensuring that your Holy Icon will remain in its original, pristine condition as it is passed down from generation to generation.
