About The Religious Icons

     
 

Starting from the true belief that the first icon was the image of Jesus Christ (the Saviour) miraculously printed on the mandillion of Saint Veronica, one could say that the icon is not simply a piece of art, but first of all a sacred object.

Therefore, the icons painted in the Saint Veronica Workshop are painted to this religious purpose and they are also sanctified.

Many of them are copies or interpretations of famous icons, while several others are unique works of art created in our workshop.

In the religious icons series entitled "From the flavour of the past for the joy of the present" the priest uses hardwood 75 years old of age.

The colours used are natural pigments with different pastel colour tones that transport us back to the times of the greatest iconographers: Andrew Rubliov, Theophan the Cretan, Pansellinos etc.

"The Flower of the Gifts" is the icons series addressed to those wanting to offer a spiritual gift to those dearest to them.

The icons in this series are of small dimensions (14.5 x 21 cm or 21 x 29.5 cm) and have as iconographic theme, besides the two most important Christian celebrations: the Resurrection of Christ and the Nativity, other themes such as Jesus Christ Pantocrator, Virgin Mary with Child Jesus etc. Icons representing various saints belonging to both the Orthodox and Catholic calendar, of whom we mention Saints George, Demetrius, Andrew, Nicholas, Parascheve etc., are also included in this series; these are addressed to those wanting to offer them as gifts for somebody’s name day.

Religious icons depicting saints other than those listed above must be ordered at least 2 months in advance.

"The Iconostasis" is the name of the third series of icons which are included in the rood screen of an Orthodox Church. This series of icons is meant for churches which need an iconostasis.

Other types and models of icons can be painted on request. Please, contact us.
The religious Icons are usually painted on linden tree wood.

Each icon will be accompanied by an authenticated signature specimen of the painter and by legal documents proving the origin and the authenticity of the work.
