Aged-Wooden Byzantine Icon of Saint Gregory the Sinaite.
Saint Gregory the Sinaite was born in 1255 AD in Asia Minor into a Christian family and from a young age he followed the solitary life.
During his travels he worshiped the Holy Sepulcher and visited the monasteries of Mount Athos and Constantinople. He devoted his life to teaching Hesychasm in the Balkans, and especially to the Slavs and Bulgarians.
He died in 1347 AD.
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 Gregory the Sinaite is polished with a special varnish to withstand time.
