Silver Icons made of 950 silver with a selected wooden frame. The painted parts of the image are hand-painted and are reproductions of Byzantine masterpieces.
This tradition began in the early Orthodox years when handmade icons began to be coated with silver or copper, giving each sacred image a distinct form. According to the story, it started as a gift ("Tama" in Greek) in the name of God, and not for decorative purposes or to improve the appearance of the image.
Today, we provide a wide variety of Silver Icons with depictions of Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, and the Saints.

The other has been given to a nearby monastery who expresses gratitude. Thank you so much for your help with our prayers for the new year. ..."
