Luke the Apostle and Evangelist - Hand-Painted Icon

[Model: HND_st112-2637]

Byzantine Hand Painted Icon of Luke the Apostle and Evangelist.


The Evangelist Luke was born in Antioch, Syria and was of Greek origin. He was apprenticed next to the Apostle Paul and together they reached Rome to preach the Gospel. He went on alone to distant places to teach the Word of God and wrote the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles.

He also excelled in painting as the first icons of the Virgin Mary with Jesus Christ and those of the Apostles Peter and Paul are attributed to Evangelist Luke.

As for his death, the information is confused since some sources state that he died a martyr's death while others record that he died peacefully.


Apolytikion

O Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke, intercede to our merciful God, that He may grant our souls forgiveness of sins.

Kontakion

As a disciple of the Word of God, with Paul you illuminated all the earth and dispelled the gloom in writing Christ's divine Gospel.


Hand-Painted Icons occupy a valuable place in ecclesiastical art because, beyond their obvious artistic value, a hand-painted icon unites man with the holiness of the depicted person.


For the Hand-Painted Icon of Luke the Apostle and Evangelist, our experienced painters use traditional techniques and high-quality materials that offer excellent depiction and durability over time.


All our Hand-Painted Icons are painted with egg tempera, while you can choose the size of the icon, the decoration of the background, the language of the inscriptions as well as the type of wood you wish to use.


Note: The final Icon may slightly differ from the catalog photo.
