Saint Demetrius icon, Greek Orthodox icon of St Demetrios, Handmade Byzantine wall hanging art on canvas w/ gold leaf wood plaque
A UNIQUE AND AUTHENTIC HANDMADE PIECE OF ART with the representation of the Saint Demetrius adorned with Golden leaf. A wonderful artwork by following the technique instilled in Mount Athos - one of the most beloved pictorial themes.
This wonderful canvas icon has been crafted on solid natural wood and it was carved by hand. The creator of this icon has learned the canonization of Byzantine iconography.
Saint Demetrios was born in Thesaloniki, Greece in 270 AD. He came from a wealthy family and because he was athletic in appearance and heroic in spirit, he became a high-ranking officer in the Roman Army at a very young age. (This is why he is depicted in Byzantine icons in military dress, either standing or riding a horse.) He considered himself a soldier of Christ first, and a military soldier second. He spent most of his time as a devout missionary, preaching the Gospel at secret meetings and converting pagans to the Christian faith.
Can be hung on a wall or placed on a flat surface.
The item is sold without the stand depicted.
