Russian icon Saint Peter and Fevronia.
This fabulous Russian orthodox icon is made of solid wood using an ancient Russian technique with transverse beams, which prevent the curvature of the wood over time. This handcrafted icon -Saint Peter and Fevronia, has been produced using paint and decoupage methods. The halos are painted with fine colors similar to pure gold.
On the 8th of July, the Orthodox Church celebrates a very special feast — the day of Saint Peter and Fevronia. These two saints from the 13th century, Peter and Fevronia, are considered the patron saints of family, love, and fidelity.
The Duke of Russian city Murom Peter met Fevronia (a peasant girl) when she cured him of a disease using her knowledge of herbs. They eventually married, even though they came from completely different backgrounds.
