Aged-Wooden 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 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 the Doubting of Thomas is polished with a special varnish to withstand time.
Note: The final Icon may slightly differ from the catalog photo.
