St. Nicholas 3D icon (T1)

3 dimensional orthodox icon of Saint Nicholas of Myra. This icon of Saint Nicholas is mounted on the wood in the way to make the icon look and have three dimensions. The image is mounted on a thin piece of wood and then mounted on a larger and thicker block of hand carved wood. Then we finished it with hand craft details and put a coat of resin for protection. This allows the icon that we used to stand out. Usually we keep this type of icons in stock, but if we do not, we need 15 to 20 days to make it, because the varnish that we use has to dry well, before we'll sent out the icon. Sizes are: 12" X 8" X 2" Commemorated on December 6 Saint Nicholas is one the most loved saints of the Orthodox Church. He was born in the province of Lycia in the southern part of Asia Minor. He became the Archbishop of Myra as the fourth century began and participated in the Council of Nicea in 325.  There are numerous miracles associated with his life and many after his repose up to the present day, Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of many countries, including Greece and Russia. He is the patron of many occupational groups, especially sea-farers.
