Saint Mark the Evangelist Handmade Silver Icon

Silver icon with Apostle Mark the Evangelist. Handmade silver icon on natural wood, made with 925^ο 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.

Mark the Evangelist grew with Christian faith from his mother Mary and his uncle Barnabas. He accompanied Apostle Paul and Apostle Barnabas to various missionary trips and developed missionary activity in Egypt, where he founded the church of Alexandria. Apostle Mark wrote the second Gospel in 65 AD. Mark the Evangelist celebrates on April 25th.
