Silver icon with Saint Lazarus. 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.
Lazarus was a close friend of Jesus Christ, who lived in Bethania, 3 km from Jerusalem. The miracle of Lazarus made many people believe in Jesus Christ, which irritated the archpriests and Pharisees. Lazarus died in Cyprus in 63 AD. Above his grave was built a temple; bearing the inscription written in the Hebrew "Lazarus of the Four Days, the friend of Christ".
