Handmade Byzantine Icon of Saint Alexander, Patriarch of Alexandria.
Saint Alexander was the Patriarch of Alexandria from 313 AD and was known for his spiritual gifts, as well as his devotion to the Word of God. He stood in favor of the Orthodox faith and vigorously fought heresies, such as Arianism during the First Ecumenical Council in Nicaea, Bithynia.
He died peacefully in 326 AD after appointing Saint Athanasios the Great as his successor.
The Icon of Saint Alexander, Patriarch of Alexandria is an exact copy of Byzantine art and is created by experienced craftsmen using the method of gold printing where hagiographic leaves of 22 karat gold are applied in detail to decorate the background.
During the final processing, the icon is painted with dark red color around the perimeter and polished with a special varnish to maintain its shine.
It is offered in level or recessed wooden surface and is suitable for wall mounting.
