What You're Getting
The Nativity of Our Lord Icon
This is a hand painted or written icon of the Nativity of Our Lord, produced in Greece by trained icon artisans. The icon depicts the birth of Jesus Christ in the style of traditional Byzantine iconography and is finished with 24K gold sheets applied directly on top of the painted surface. This listing is available in five sizes, from a small 3 x 2.5 inch version through a large 12.4 x 9.4 inch piece suited to wall display or church use.
24K Gold Sheets
The gold on this icon is not paint or metallic ink. Sheets of 24K gold are applied on top of the painted surface, a technique rooted in centuries of Byzantine icon production. The gold finish gives the icon a warm luminosity that cannot be replicated by printed or painted alternatives. For other devotional items browse our olive wood collection.
Five Sizes for Every Setting
This icon is available in five sizes to suit different uses and display contexts. The 3 x 2.5 inch size is suited to personal carry, travel prayer, or a small home altar. The 5 x 4 inch size is the standard devotional display size. The 7-3/4 x 5-5/8 inch and 9.25 x 7.25 inch sizes are suited to wall display in a home or office. The 12.4 x 9.4 inch size is the largest option and is appropriate for church display or a dedicated prayer room.
Hand Painted in Greece with Certificate of Authenticity
Each icon is hand painted in Greece to Grade A standard and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The Byzantine icon painting tradition has been preserved in Greece continuously, and this icon reflects that living craft tradition.
