The Significance of Saint Andrew

A true masterpiece of an icon with the technique of lithography with the representation of Saint Andrew The Apostle.

Andrew the Apostle (Greek: Ἀνδρέας Andreas), also called Saint Andrew, was an apostle of Jesus according to the New Testament. He is the brother of Saint Peter.[3] He is referred to in the Orthodox tradition as the First-Called (Greek: Πρωτόκλητος, Prōtoklētos).According to Orthodox tradition, the apostolic successor to Saint Andrew is the Patriarch of Constantinople.

In this artwork the technique of lithography is used, creating a unique work of beauty. Based on a lithographed copy of Byzantine art, the hagiographer painted this work abiding to the traditional method of artificial ageing, as taught in the iconography workshops of the Athonian State. In fact, the artificial ageing of the iconography is handmade, a process given particular attention by the monks of Mount Athos.
