The icon above is made by Heritage Studio in the ancient style of \"Babylon wood carving\". Our Studio is situated in St.Petersburg, Russia and revives the medieval art of Orthodox wooden icons for travellers. We do it since beginning of the 90th years of last century, and in 2005 our activity was approved by Vladimir, the Metropolitan of St. Petersburg and Ladoga.
A tradition of low-relief icons had come to Russia from Byzantium together with Christianity. Wooden icon not more than a palm in the size was called in Russia PIADNITSA. Another name was TRAVEL ICON (or PILGRIM ICON), for these icons often accompanied pilgrims in travels.
Why people buy pilgrim icons? Certainly, everybody has own reason. Would you like to know some of them?
- Do you worry, that someone of your relatives spends much time in a way? Let the icon of the Patron Saint save him in a way as it was long since.
- If you intend to make pilgrim trip to the sacred places, take the pilgrim icon with you. Many years later you will pass the God\'s blessing as well as the icon, to your children, grandsons and great-grandsons.
- Do you have a visually impaired friend? With the icon you will give him an opportunity to SEE the real sample of Orthodox art. (Modern scientific researches show that exactly such bas-relief images are the best for perception by touch).
- And even if you are simply looking for a gift for somebody, this pilgrim icon will give you a great opportunity to bring a variety into a habitual set of traditional gifts. Of course, before you will do it, you has to be sure that your friend is Christian and can accept your gift.
And it is impossible to say better than one of our buyers: \"The more you hold the icon in your hands, the more you feel your ability to overcome any obstacles. It is felt that the icon is made with soul.\"
