Saint Lazarus Raising - Byzantine Icon

Handmade Byzantine Icon of Saint Lazarus Raising.

When Lazarus became seriously ill, his sisters notified his friend Jesus Christ, but he did not immediately go to Bethany to meet him. Instead, two days later, when Lazarus was already dead, Jesus traveled with his disciples to his tomb to raise him.

When he arrived, he met Mary and Martha, the sisters of Lazarus, and in front of them and his disciples he announced: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die".

Then, addressing Lazarus, he commanded: "Lazarus come out" and then the miracle happened. Lazarus came out of his tomb alive.

The Icon of Saint Lazarus Raising is an exact copy of Byzantine art and is created by experienced craftsmen using the method of gold printing where hagiographic leaves of 22 karat gold are applied in detail to decorate the background.

During the final processing, the icon is painted with dark red color around the perimeter and polished with a special varnish to maintain its shine.

It is offered in level or recessed wooden surface and is suitable for wall mounting.
