The icon of the Holy Family has deep roots in Christian tradition and iconography. This icon is a symbol of family life and love, which reflects the deep meaning that the family has in Christianity. It reminds believers that Jesus was not only God, but also man, and that his parents were very important in his life.
The icon is written on a prepared board (linden, oak), impregnated with an antiseptic, covered with a textile and chalk ground (icon painting soil).
The painting is made in the egg tempera technique. All colors are of natural origin. The gilding is made by hand from gold leaf.
Ancient technologies and natural materials ensure a long life of the icon.
