In a Russian Orthodox Christian home, one corner, called the "beautiful" or "holy corner," displays icons. Here, by tradition, a large central icon is draped by a colorful embroidered cloth and graced with a lampada, or vigil lamp burning before it. An analoy, or icon stand, would support a small icon and a bible, or cross. *

As an example of the very fine quality and master craftsmanship of these hand painted icons, please click here to see the delicate brush strokes on the icon pictured at left.

NOTE: Only 1 of each icon shown is available.


The Virgin Galaktotrophousa
(She Who Suckles)

Nurturing Mother of God
Galaktotrophousa

       The traditional icons here are executed from ancient Russian and Byzantine icons in much the same way as Church manuscripts were once painstakingly copied by hand from ancient manuscripts. Our Russian (from Russia) Orthodox icons are painted on wood panels by a master iconographer. Each comes with a certificate of authenticity. Sizes are approximate.
