Handmade Byzantine Icon of Saints Nicholas and George.
Saint Nicholas was born in Patara in Lycia and at a young age, after losing his family, he became the heir to a property which he donated to poor and suffering people. He was dedicated in the ascetic life and was elected archbishop of Myron, but was imprisoned for his faith as required by Diocletian's decree.
Saint George came from Cappadocia and was a member of the Roman Army. He showed great boldness and courage and for this, he gained the attention of the Emperor Diocletian, but he could not escape the persecutions that Christians faced in those years. Saint George did not deny his faith and was sentenced to beheading.
The Icon of Saints Nicholas and George 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.
