Wholesale The Holy Apostle Luke with the Icon of the Mother of God. Wooden orthodox icon

Icon of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke with the Icon of the Mother of God The Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke is not only remembered as the inspired author of the Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, but also as the first Christian iconographer. Tradition tells us that St. Luke painted the very first icons of the Mother of God: the Eleusa (“Merciful One”), the Jerusalem icon, and the Hodigitria (“She Who Shows the Way”). Through his hand, the Church also received some of the earliest depictions of the holy apostles Peter and Paul. In this icon, St. Luke is shown holding an image of the Theotokos, reminding us of his sacred role as the patron and heavenly protector of all iconographers. Every Orthodox icon painted in prayer and humility continues the holy tradition begun by him. This holy image inspires believers to honor the Evangelist Luke not only as a bearer of the Gospel, but also as the one through whom the beauty of sacred icons entered the life of the Church. For those who write icons, this saint is a guide and intercessor, teaching that every brushstroke is an offering of faith and love to God. 🖼 Product Features Each icon in our workshop is made to last a lifetime and beyond.
