Saint Peter icon The Apostle, Handmade Greek Orthodox icon Apostle Peter, Byzantine art wall hanging on wood plaque, religious home decor

This wonderful icon has been created with the technique of lithography and has a double varnish to ensure waterproof and duration in time.

The holy, glorious and all-laudable Apostle Peter is the leader of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. His feast is celebrated on June 29 along with the Apostle Paul.

The divinely-blessed Peter was from Bethsaida of Galilee. He was the son of Jonas and the brother of Andrew the First-called. He was a fisherman by trade, unlearned and poor, and was called Simon; later he was renamed Peter by the Lord Jesus Christ himself, who looked at him and said, "Thou art Simon the son of Jonas; thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter)" (John 1:42).

A handmade icon on naturally aged wood following the technique of lithography, creating a unique piece of beauty. Based on a copy of Byzantine art, the hagiographer painted this work abiding to the traditional methods, as taught in the iconography workshops of the Athonian State.

Can be hung on a wall or placed on a flat surface.
