Discover a stunning Orthodox icon lithography depicting the Synaxis of the Twelve Apostles, crafted with a double varnish layer for enhanced depth and durability. This exquisite piece is enriched with handmade artificial aging, adding timeless character and unique value. A faithful reproduction of Byzantine hagiography, it beautifully reflects the sacred tradition and artistry of the Orthodox Church.
The Synaxis of the Twelve Apostles is celebrated on June 30, following the feast of Saints Peter and Paul (June 29). In Orthodox tradition, a Synaxis (a liturgical gathering) honors saints who played a significant role in preceding major feast days. An example is the Synaxis of St. John the Baptist, observed after Theophany.
The Twelve Apostles were chosen by Christ to fulfill the Great Commission: “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19). While each Apostle is commemorated individually throughout the liturgical year, the Church also established a collective feast to honor their shared mission in spreading the Gospel.
The names of the Twelve Apostles are: Simon Peter and his brother Andrew the First-Called; James and John, sons of Zebedee; Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the Evangelist; James, son of Alphaeus; Jude Thaddeus; Simon the Zealot; and Matthias, who succeeded Judas Iscariot.
This beautifully crafted Orthodox icon can be elegantly hung on a wall or placed on a flat surface, making it a meaningful addition to any sacred space or devotional collection.
