I received the very beautiful Entombment icon on Good Friday. Our priest carried it in the procession with The Holy Shroud. It was a great blessing and especially to receive it on Good Friday and take to the church in perfect timing. Thank You again and again ?? for the holy icons!!

The Old Believer icon of Our Lady of the Unburnt Thornbush is exquisite. It arrived this morning and is now hanging in my icon corner, alongside the other beautiful antique icons that I have acquired from the Russian Store.

I received the relic. The packaging and laminate explaining what it is, is excellent. I will buy more from you in the future. Thank you!

Недавно купила чудесную икону Серафима Соровского. Понравилась очень. Это моя вторая икона из вашего магазина.

Reliquary theca with relic of St. John the Baptist, the Forerunner of Christ

Oval glass-fronted brass reliquary theca housing a relic of Saint John the Baptist. The relic is mounted on yellow silk ground surrounded by silver wire and paperolle ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as S. Jo. Bapt. (Saint John the Baptist). On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax with an imprint of a coat of arms of Archbishop Francesco Saverio Passari (†1808), Vicegerent of Rome and Titular Archbishop of Larissa in Thessalia.

Saint John the Baptist known as the Forerunner in Christ in the Orthodox Church was a Jewish itinerant preacher in the early first century AD. John is revered as a major religious figure in Christianity, Islam, the Bahá'í Faith, and Mandaeism. He is called a prophet by all of these traditions and honored as a saint in many Christian traditions. He is a Patron saint of Jordan, Puerto Rico, Knights Hospitaller of Jerusalem, French Canada, Newfoundland, Cesena, Florence, Genoa, Monza, Perth (Scotland), Porto, San Juan, Turin, Xewkija, and many other places.
