Our Lady of Kazan Icon.
The icon is made in the famous "Gold Embroidery Workshop" of the Holy Trinity-Saint Seraphim-Diveyevo Monastery. The icon is consecrated!
The icons are hand-embroidered with Czech beads, rhinestones made of mountain crystal, pearls, and semi-precious stones. The arched kiot is made of solid wood. The icon is under glass, which protects the image from UV rays, dust, and moisture. The frame insert is a grapevine made of sculptural plaster. The face is printed. The face corresponds to the Orthodox iconographic canons.
All icons come with a certificate and in branded packaging. On the back of the icon is a metal suspension fitting.
The workshop uses only high-quality natural materials for finishing, special paints, and protective agents for printing faces.
Our Lady of Kazan is one of the most revered icons in the Orthodox Church. It's a condensed representation of the image of the Mother of God, painted in the iconographic style known as the Odigitria ("Directress"). The history of the icon's discovery dates back to the 16th century (1579) in Kazan.
