Silver icon with Saint Alexander. Handmade silver icon on natural wood, made with 925ο silver with local 22K gold plating. The natural wood used for the synthesis of the icon is beech (fagus) from Mount Athos, a wood that is receptive to aging techniques that give the appearance of vintage to the wood, without altering the depicted image.
The depictions of faces, hands, halos or other representations are depicted in excellent quality and clarity silkscreen with "vivid" colors. The silver frame of the icon is held by nails to resemble the original icons. On the back side, the icon has a small metal ring made of horseshoe nails so that it can be hung.
Saint Alexander was distinguished for his great piousness, virtue and piety. He participated in the First Ecumenical council of Nicaea and he succeeded Patriarch Metrophanes when he passed away. Saint Alexander died peacefully in 337 AD. Saint Alexander celebrates on August 30th.
