Guardian Angel icon, Handmade Greek Orthodox icon Angel of the Lord, Byzantine art wall hanging on wood plaque religious icon gift #2

A Guardian Angel is a divine protector assigned to each person. In Orthodox tradition, prayers for a guardian angel are included in the litanies:

"An angel of peace, a faithful guide, a guardian of our souls and bodies, let us ask of the Lord."

Saint Basil the Great teaches: "The [guardian] Angel will not retreat from us unless we drive him away by our evil deeds. As smoke drives away bees and stench repels doves, so our sins drive away the angel who protects our life."

This Orthodox icon beautifully depicts the Guardian Archangel, crafted using traditional Athonite techniques. The icon undergoes artificial aging and features a handmade metal finish, enhancing its unique aesthetic value.

Perfect for wall hanging or placement on a flat surface.

Note: The stand shown is not included.
