A wonderful lithography with a double varnish layer and high quality paint depicting the Synaxis / Gathering of the Archangels. An icon aesthetically upgraded with collective value due to the handmade artificial ageing it has undergone. This is an exact copy of a Byzantine hagiography.


On November 8th the Greek Orthodox Church celebrates the Synaxis of the Supreme Commanders Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, and of the other bodiless and heavenly orders, the Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Powers, Authorities, Principalities, Archangels and Angels.

We celebrate this feast of unity between angels and humans, and this unity is not in the “life to come” at the end of times —
