The exquisite craft of iconography, a revered tradition that dates back centuries, finds a remarkable representation in the St. Nektarios Orthodox Wood Icon, an embodiment of spiritual heritage and artistic dedication. This icon, meticulously handcrafted, represents a fusion of time-honored iconography customs and contemporary craftsmanship techniques, ensuring its relevance and appeal in modern worship and as a collector's artifact. This piece is not just an object of veneration but also a testament to the enduring legacy of Orthodox Christian art, capturing the essence of sacred narratives and figures in a manner that resonates with believers and art enthusiasts alike. The Craftsmanship and Materials The St. Nektarios Orthodox Wood Icon is a masterpiece made from natural wood, chosen for its durability and beauty, serving as the foundation for this sacred art. The icon's surface is adorned with a 999 silver plate, a material renowned for its purity and luminance, reflecting a commitment to quality and reverence in its creation. This silver plating is not merely decorative; it employs the PVD Silver Technique, an advanced technology that ensures the icon's resistance to tarnishing and environmental damage, guaranteeing its preservation for generations. The process adheres to the stringent standards set by the EU, emphasizing the icon's compliance with European regulations for artisanship and material quality. The iconography utilized in this piece is a direct homage to Byzantine art, a copy of sacred imagery that has been venerated for centuries. This particular icon replicates the vibrant colors and intricate details characteristic of Byzantine iconography, with each feature painstakingly applied to capture the divine essence of St. Nektarios. The craftsmanship extends to the icon's medium—MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard), chosen for its uniformity and stability, ensuring that the sacred image is presented on a surface that is both durable and elegant. The icon is finished in hues of gold and silver, offering a visual representation of the divine that is both awe-inspiring and accessible. The Icon's Specifications The dimensions of the St. Nektarios Orthodox Wood Icon are meticulously set to W - 5.12 inches by L - 7.10 inches (approximately 13cm x 18cm), a size that makes it suitable for personal devotion or as a focal point in a larger collection of religious art. This handmade icon's craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the selection of materials to the application of the silver plate. Additionally, the icon is presented in a handmade gift case, enhancing its appeal as a sacred gift for religious occasions or as a cherished keepsake. The combination of natural wood and 999 silver plating, alongside the meticulous application of iconographic techniques, ensures that this icon stands as a protective symbol, safeguarding the space it occupies from negative influences. The Collection and Its Historical Significance Accompanying the St. Nektarios Icon is a collection of 12 rare Russian Orthodox postcards, each representing a pivotal moment or figure in the Orthodox Christian tradition. These postcards serve as a bridge between the devout and the rich history of Russian iconography, spanning centuries from the early influence of Byzantine masters to the distinct periods of flourishing that saw the emergence of independent schools of icon painting in Russia. The diversity of styles—from the bright and spiritually potent Novgorod icons to the serene and harmonious works of the Moscow School—is a testament to the depth and breadth of Russian Orthodox art. This collection not only enriches the icon's spiritual value but also offers a comprehensive overview of the evolution of iconography, making it an invaluable addition to any collection. The Icon and Its Place in Modern Worship The St. Nektarios Orthodox Wood Icon, enhanced with 999 silver plating and presented within a handmade gift case, is more than a mere object of veneration; it is a link to the divine that transcends the boundaries of time and geography. It embodies the sacred traditions of Orthodox Christianity, capturing the essence of St. Nektarios's spirituality and the profound depth of Byzantine and Russian iconographic art. This icon, EU-made and adhering to the highest standards of craftsmanship, is not only a significant religious artifact but also a gift of unparalleled spiritual value, suitable for marking the most profound moments of faith and devotion. In conclusion, the St. Nektarios Orthodox Wood Icon, complete with its accompanying collection of Russian Orthodox postcards, represents a harmonious blend of tradition and craftsmanship. It serves as a tangible connection to the divine, offering a source of inspiration and contemplation for the faithful. This icon, through its beauty and sanctity, continues to carry the legacy of Orthodox art into the present day, inviting believers and art enthusiasts alike to partake in its sacred tradition.

I had been looking for this particular icon for several years. Wanted to have a quality piece on my shelf but all other stores didn’t have anything like this… My husband is carpenter, he evaluated the quality of wood, said this icon will last for many years.
