About the icon
The Great High Priest and Eternal Hierarch
The Epistle to the Hebrews calls Christ the great High Priest after the order of Melchizedek, who offered Himself once for all. This icon, known in Greek as the Megas Archiereus, shows Him vested as a bishop in sakkos and omophorion, enthroned or standing, holding the Gospel and blessing. It expresses the Church's faith that in every Divine Liturgy it is Christ Himself who offers and is offered. Painted entirely by hand in tempera, this original is set on a panel with a matte gold leaf background.
This is a 100% Handwritten artwork crafted according to Byzantine technique and style, totally painted by hand with Blue colored background. Once the theme is painted, our skilled craftsmen meticulously apply the 24 karats Water Gilded Halo, resulting to an exquisite work of art.
At the back of the icon, a mounting point is installed, accompanied by our Certificate of Authenticity and Quality. All of our artworks bear the studio’s distinctive title and logo. This icon is totally Handmade and though it may have very slight differences from the photos shown.
