The Significance of The Circumcision of Jesus Christ
The Feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord, celebrated on January 1st, commemorates the day when Jesus, in obedience to Jewish law, was circumcised on the eighth day after His birth. This event, described in Luke 2:21, marks the first time Jesus shed His blood for humanity, foreshadowing His ultimate sacrifice on the Cross. The circumcision also signifies Christ’s full participation in human life and His fulfillment of the Law.
In Orthodox iconography, this feast is depicted with Christ as an infant, held by the Virgin Mary, or surrounded by St. Joseph and temple figures performing the circumcision. The image emphasizes the humility of Christ and the mystery of His incarnation.

Every piece leaves our workshop finished by hand — the wood prepared, the image laid, the surface aged and varnished. One at a time, the way Greek icon workshops have worked for generations.
We make them to be lived with: held in prayer, hung in a quiet corner, passed on.
"Come close to God, and God will come close to you." — James 4:8
