Handmade Byzantine Icon of the Doubting of Thomas.
The disciple of Christ, Apostle Thomas, as he was absent when Christ presented himself to his disciples after the Resurrection, had asked to see with his own eyes the wounds on the body of his Master.
So, after eight days, Christ appeared again before his disciples, where he invited the Apostle Thomas to feel the wounds from the nails of the Crucifixion on his body. Then, Thomas was convinced of the miracle of the Resurrection and recognized Christ as his God.
John 20: 26-27
A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
The Icon of the Doubting of Thomas 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.
