About the icon
The Patriarch Confessor and Enlightener of America
Born Vasily Bellavin in 1865, Tikhon led the North American diocese from 1898 to 1907, building up parishes and the cathedral in New York. Elected Patriarch of Moscow in 1917, he guided the Church with patience and courage through Soviet persecution and imprisonment. He reposed in 1925 and was glorified in 1989. The Russian Church, keeping the old calendar, commemorates him on 7 April and 9 October. Painted entirely by hand in tempera, this original is set on a recessed panel with a 24k gold leaf background.
This is a 100% Handwritten artwork crafted according to Byzantine technique and style, totally painted by hand with 24 karats Gold Leaves background. Once the theme is painted by our skilled craftsmen, a mounting point and the Certificate of Authenticity and Quality are installed at the back of the icon.
