hand painted orthodox wood icon of Saint Prophet Ezekiel pocket size miniature

Keep your faith close to your heart and carry this pocket-size hand painted Christian icon as a meaningful talisman when travelling. When kept in your purse or pocket, or displayed on the dashboard of your car, this one of a kind icon is believed to grant the keeper safe passage on journeys. All our Christian icons are created according to traditional Eastern Orthodox religious painting canons. We use only natural materials such as wooden board (oak, walnut or linden), gesso (chalk ground) and gold leaf for gilding. For paint, we use traditional egg tempera - pigment and egg yolk - to produce an authentic and long-lasting finish that is sealed with protective varnish. CUSTOM ORDER: Most of our icons are made to order and we are happy to create a custom icon just for you! If you would like to place a custom order, please message us with ideas and details. Custom orders take many days to make. Please keep that in mind if ordering for a special occasion like a birthday, wedding, or holiday. Here are some ideas for custom orders: Order an icon of a rare Saint whose icons are hard to find Get a copy of your favorite icon from your church Order a custom family icon that depicts patrons of several family members Cite your favorite inspirational quote from the Bible or a prayer on the back of the icon Chose your size when ordering Chose colors of the background of the painting and the halo of the Saint Give a meaningful and memorable gift for a dear friend or family member. Here are some great occasions to keep in mind: 1. Give it as a noteworthy gift for Christening (both for a child being baptized and for the godparents) 2. Celebrate a birthday, wedding or birth of a child 3. Honor your priest or spiritual leader with an icon of a patron Saint of his name 4. Acknowledge any of the church holidays such as Christmas and Easter 5. Treat yourself to peace and comfort of always having your favourite Saint image at home or on the go 9. Order several miniature icons at once for every family member or guest for any special family event (wedding, Christening, family celebration) Please note that all our icons are completely handmade and hand-painted so colors and small details may vary slightly. Every icon is packaged in a small fabric bag and in a simple but elegant craft box. Special gift packaging is available upon request. CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Though I do everything in my power to make these icons resistant to all kinds of damage, please handle these delicate works with care! Avoid dropping – this might chip the lacquer and even the paint! You can wipe with a soft, dry cloth to clean, if needed. Please keep away from water. Do not wash
