INTRODUCING .. .a new line of exquisitely crafted Russian icons.The Russian Masterwork Icon Series represents a breakthrough in icon-crafting, utilizing the latest silk-screen technology. When people see these icons for the first time, their typical reaction is "What beautiful hand-painted icon!"
The unique creative process behind these icons was developed by one of Russia's premier icon studios. Seeing the desire of pious Orthodox Christians for high-quality hand-painted icons in the traditional canonical style, and knowing that the demand for such icons could never be met by the small number of trained iconographers, a master iconographer developed this new technique, whereby some of the most beloved ancient types are applied using dozens of different layers of mineral paint to a solid wood board, fully one inch thick with kovcheg. Metallic foil is applied and hand-worked. The icon is then embellished with halos and lettering, and trimmed in deep red.
The result is an exquisite image with the real living character of a hand-painted icon, one that any praying person would be honored to have in their icon corner.
Holy Great Martyr Panteleimon St. Panteleimon is venerated in the Orthodox Church as a mighty saint,
a great healer, and the protector of soldiers. This aspect of his
veneration is derived from his first name Pantoleon, which means "a
lion in everything". His second name Panteleimon given him at Baptism
which means "all-merciful" is manifest in the veneration of the martyr
as a healer. The connection between these two aspects of the saint is
readily apparent in that soldiers receiving wounds more frequently than
others are more in need of a physician-healer. Christians waging
spiritual warfare also have recourse to this saint asking him to heal
their spiritual wounds. The Holy Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon is
invoked in the Mystery of Anointing the Sick at the Blessing of Water
and in the Prayers for the Sick. His feast is celebrated on July 27th
(O.S.).

Jesus Christ, The Lord Over All
Our Great God and Saviour Jesus Christ is depicted with His right hand raised in blessing. This is Christ as the Lord of All (Pantocrator)
at the end of the ages. His nimbus bears within it a Cross with the
words "HE WHO IS." This is a title for God and signifies Christ's
deity. His cloak is blue to symbolize His humanity which He put on in
His Incarnation and His tunic is red to represent His divinity that He
always had from eternity.
And behold I come quickly; and my
reward is with me to give every man according as his work shall be. I
am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end the first and the last.

St. Alexander of Svir In 1487, St. Alexander, then a monk of the Valaam Monastery, settled
between Roschinsky and Holy lakes, 20 km to the east from Lake Ladoga
and 6 km from the Svir River. During his life in the woods, he had a
vision of the Holy Trinity who ordered him to build two oaken chapels
dedicated to the Trinity and the Savior's Transfiguration. These
churches gave birth to Alexander of Svir Monastery. The Church Synod of
1547 canonized Alexander of Svir, and the new saint became venerated
throughout Russian lands. One of the chapels of the famous Saint
Basil's Cathedral on Red Square, for instance, was consecrated to him.
After 500 years his holy relics, once thought to be lost to fire at the
hands of the Bolsheviks, are still incorrupt and now reside again in
his newly-restored monastery. His feast is celebrated on August 30th
(O.S.).

St. Sergius of Radonezh St. Sergius, the founder of the Holy Trinity Lavra, was born to Rostov
boyars. From his childhood he grew accustomed to solitude and sought
his salvation through prayer, fasting and work. After his parents'
death he decided to leave for the desert. He started his hermitage in a
clearing surrounded by thick forest on a low hill, building cells and a
small church dedicated to the Lifegiving Trinity. Having become Abbot
of the monastery, St. Sergius did not change anything in his life and
continued to work for all. He remembered the words of Christ, "The Son
of Man did not come to be served but to serve" (Mt. 20:28). Not only
was he a father but also a servant to all those who came to him giving
an example of humility and work. In his lifetime already he was revered
as a saint. His feast is celebrated on September 25th (O.S.).

The Most Holy Trinity This icon is sometimes called the Old Testament Trinity. It depicts the
appearance to Abraham of three angels, understood by the Church as a
representation of the Holy Trinity. Since the Trinity Itself cannot be
directly depicted, the Church confesses and venerates this most exalted
doctrine by the depiction of Abraham's vision. The early Fathers
understood one of the Angels to be Christ Himself, and thus the second
Angel is shown wearing the garments of Christ.

The Mother of God Chernigov While Lazar Baranovich was Archbishop of Chernigov and Zosima was Abbot
of the Ilinsk Monastery, tears poured forth from this icon from the
16th to the 24th of April, 1662. In that same year, the Tatars attacked
Chernigov and devastated all of the surrounding villages. However, the
monks of the monastery knew nothing of the imminent danger. In the
night, they received the news. After rushing to the church, and
earnestly, tearfully, praying to their Heavenly Intercessor, they hid
in a cave. At midnight the Tatars broke into the monastery and looted
the church, but the miraculous icon and all of its precious decorations
remained untouched. An unseen power did not permit the barbarians to
touch the Holy Icon. That same unseen force kept them from entering the
cave where the monks were hiding. Suddenly, terrified by a vision, the
barbarians fled. Her feast is celebrated on April 16th (O.S.).

The Mother of God Enthroned
The Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary here appears as the Queen of All. She is enthroned who once enthroned Christ God in her womb, and on her lap as a small child. This icon is based on the original Pantanassa
or Queen of All" icon. It is a copy of the 17th-century miraculous icon
treasured in the Athonite Monastery of Vatopedi. Through the grace of
this icon there were so many healings of cancer that a copy of it was
requested and blessed for those suffering in Russia where many miracles
occurred.
In the year 1991 many reprints of the icon "Queen of
All" were given as a blessing to the Russian children who had cancer.
Doctors at the Cancer Center were the witnesses of many miracles of
healing that happened afterwards. Upon receiving the icon one boy who
was dying from cancer unexpectedly began to feel better. He asked that
he be allowed to take the icon home and shortly afterwards recovered
fully.

The Mother of God Kazan The Mother of God of Kazan is one of the most venerated holy icons in
the Russian Orthodox Church. The icon was discovered on July 8, 1579,
underground in the city of Kazan, after the Theotokos herself revealed
its location to a little girl. The icon was credited by the Russian
commanders - Dmitry Pozharsky and Mikhail Kutozov - with helping the
country to repel the Polish invasion of 1612, the Swedish invasion of
1709, and Napoleon's invasion of 1812. The original icon was kept in
one of the monasteries of Kazan, whereas its ancient and venerated
copies have been displayed at the Kazan Cathedrals of Moscow,
Yaroslavl, and St. Petersburg. Her feast is celebrated on July 8th and
October 22nd (O.S.).

The Mother of God Vladimir
The
Mother of God of Vladimir is one of the most universally beloved
Orthodox icons. Through this icon, the Mother of God revealed her Holy
Protection over the Russian land. The original icon is displayed in the
Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.
Patriarch Luke Chrysoberges of
Constantinople sent the newly made icon as a gift to Grand Duke Yury
Dolgoruky of Kiev in about 1131. One of the most exquisite icons ever
created, the icon of the Theotokos of Vladimir is sometimes described
as exhibiting universal feelings of motherly love and anxiety for her
child. The venerated image was used in coronations of tsars, elections
of patriarchs, and other important ceremonies of state. Her feast is
celebrated on June 3rd (O.S.).
