Philip the Apostle - Aged Byzantine Icon

Aged-Wooden Byzantine Icon of Philip the Apostle.

Philip the Apostle came from Bethsaida in Galilee. There, he met Jesus Christ, who said to him: "Follow me". Philip followed Him without hesitation and became one of His disciples and one of the Twelve Apostles.

Philip the Apostle was enlightened by the Holy Spirit and dedicated himself to the missionary work, through which he managed to preach the Gospel in distant places.

In Hierapolis, Syria, he was captured by pagans and suffered horrific torture and crucifixion, which led to his death in 87 AD.

O Holy Apostle Philip, intercede to our merciful God, that He may grant our souls forgiveness of sins.

The aging technique is meticulously applied to the Icon by hand and gives it the look of time while the depiction retains its artistic details.

Around the perimeter, the aging becomes more apparent with frayed edges that give the Icon a distinctive appearance.

During the final processing, the Aged-Wooden Icon of Philip the Apostle is polished with a special varnish to withstand time.

Note: The final Icon may slightly differ from the catalog photo.
