Aged-Wooden 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 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 Saint Alexander, Patriarch of Alexandria is polished with a special varnish to withstand time.
Note: The final Icon may slightly differ from the catalog photo.
