Description

Aged-Wooden Byzantine Icon of Saint John the Merciful, Patriarch of Alexandria.

Saint John the Merciful was born in Cyprus during the reign of Heraclius. He grew up with a Christian education, which he passed on to his own descendants.

However, his family quickly passed away, leaving him alone and with a large fortune, which he constantly offer to those in need. His great charity led him to become Patriarch of Alexandria. From this position he was able to help his community even more.

He passed away peacefully in 620 AD.

Troparion of Saint John the Merciful

By endurance you gained your reward, venerable Father; / you persevered in prayer unceasingly; / you loved the poor and provided for them in all things. / Blessed John the Merciful, intercede with Christ God that our souls may be saved.

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 Saint John the Merciful is polished with a special varnish to withstand time.

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