Handmade Hagiographies

Handmade Hagiographies

The long tradition of Byzantine hagiography brings the depth of art that serves the worship of the Church and perceives personal prayer as an opportunity to meet with Christ, Virgin and the Saints. Therefore, Byzantine art lovers can get the icon they want, either to decorate their home or to offer it as an invaluable gift to their loved ones. The materials used for the icons are a combination of egg tempera with various powder colors, in order to get the desired result. Each image highlights the brightness of the depicted faces but also the necessary symbolism that leads mentally to all this material wealth and to the tradition that the Mount Athos Fathers have preserved for centuries. Our store is characterized by respect for the rich Byzantine tradition of iconography. We have hagiographies made with the techniques of polished and wrought gold with engraved designs, but also a wide range of portable icons which have been crafted by renowned hagiographers of Mount Athos.
