The Significance of The Ladder of Divine Ascent
The Scala, which obtained an immense popularity and has made its author famous in the Church, is addressed to anchorites and cenobites and treats of the means by which the highest degree of religious perfection may be attained. Divided into thirty parts, or "steps", in memory of the thirty years of the life of Christ, the Divine model for the faithful Christian, it presents a picture of all the virtues and contains a great many parables and historical touches, drawn principally from the monastic life, and exhibiting the practical application of the precepts.
At the same time, as the work is mostly written in a concise, sententious form, with the aid of aphorisms, and as the reasonings are not sufficiently closely connected, it is at times somewhat obscure. This explains its having been the subject of various commentaries, even in very early times. The most ancient of the manuscripts containing the Scala is found in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris and was probably brought from Florence by Catherine de' Medici. In some of these manuscripts, the work bears the title of "Spiritual Tables" (Plakes pneumatikai).

Well-made replica of holy icon!
Another beautiful piece from an excellent shop. It arrived well-packaged and in a fair amount of time, as described and even more beautiful in person.
The icon is as described. One small issue the staple holding the hanging loop in the back, it's about 1/2-in off-center causing the icon to tilt to one side. I'll be able to fix it, it is an aesthetic issue.
Also there was a long delay in shipping. Seller ship the item quickly, but tracking showed it was in arrived a month after the estimated delivery date.
They were great thank you
Looks okay. The frame on the smaller size cuts off Jesus at the corner.
I’ve ordered from this seller several times and have always been very happy. Highly recommended!

Good quality and well done. Only small complaint is that the yellow on the picture that arrived is darker than online version.
Beautiful Icon, i recommend this shop!
As expected, and a really nice addition to a prayer corner.
Handmade in Greece since 1978.
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
