Aged-Wooden Byzantine Icon of Gabriel Archangel.
Gabriel Archangel is one of the three Archangels mentioned in Christianity. His name means "Man of God" and his coming is mentioned in the Old and New Testaments when he announces to the Virgin Mary that she will give birth to the Son of God and when he announces to Joseph that they must leave Egypt and find refuge in Israel.
Troparion of Gabriel Archangel
Gabriel, commander of the heavenly hosts, / we who are unworthy beseech you, / by your prayers encompass us beneath the wings of your immaterial glory, / and faithfully preserve us who fall down and cry to you: / “Deliver us from all harm, for you are the commander of the powers on high!”
The aging technique is meticulously applied to the Icon by hand and gives it the look of time while the depiction retains its artistic details.
Around the perimeter, the aging becomes more apparent with frayed edges that give the Icon a distinctive appearance.
During the final processing, the Aged-Wooden Icon of Gabriel Archangel is polished with a special varnish to withstand time.
Note: The final Icon may slightly differ from the catalog photo.
