    • Traditional Hand Painted Icons

    The imagery in the traditional icons presented here has been passed down from Old Russia and Byzantium, in much the same way as manuscripts were painstakingly copied from earlier ones. All of the icons shown here were painted in Russia on wood using materials available at the time (we had a hand in supplying the painters) and are finished with a clear lacquer. The quality is exquisite and we hope that browsing through our selection will bring much pleasure and enjoyment. Thanks for looking.

    In an Orthodox home, one corner is given as a specially arranged place for icons. This is the Красный Угол, aka the Beautiful Corner. Traditionally, a central icon will be draped with an embroidered towel, or cloth, and a Лампада, or vigil lamp, hung before the icon. For more, see How to Create a Russian Dacha in Your Own Home.
