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.

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.
