Saints Peter and Paul | Large XLG Silver foiled icon on wood | Orthodox - Catholic icon | Size: 15 7/8" x 13"

A fabulous, traditional Russian-Orthodox Byzantine icon in canonical iconographic style. Image of the icon is made in high-quality polygraphic with double layers of metallographic printing. It is pasted to the wood or plywood plate basis.

Both Apostles, being chosen by our Lord, were instrumental in the establishment and growth of the early Church through their boldness, spiritual strength, and wisdom. Thus they are recognized as "pillars" of the Church, having offered all even unto death for the sake of the Gospel of Christ.

In this icon commissioned especially for Legacy Icons, the Apostle Paul, the great missionary of the early Church, is holding a Gospel book, while the Apostle Peter offers a blessing with his right hand.

These two chiefs of the Apostles are commemorated together on June 29.

The icon was consecrated by the provost of the Russian Orthodox church in Moscow.
This is a religious object, please, treat it carefully and in a worthy manner
