I am extremely impressed with The Russian Store. From my initial email to them, they have been very responsive and knowledgeable. The relic I ordered arrived quickly and when promised. Along with the relic being very well packaged to avoid damage, I also received a Certificate of Authenticity that provides pertinent details and an accurate description of the relic. I will continue to use The Russian Store and have already recommended my friends and colleagues to them.

I will get money in the mail to you I hope this week for the icons. I just love them so much and venerate with all my heart. They enrich my life at home and when I go to the church. They are there for me and others if they want to turn to them.

Огромное спасибо за оперативную пересылку купленной нами иконы. С таможней проблем вообще никаких не было, бандероль принесли домой!

I just wanted to send you an email to let you know that the Passion Relics arrived safe & sound this morning. They are more beautiful than the photos shown in the description on your website!

Russian Icon - The Holy Mandylion - Image of Christ Not Made by Human Hands

The icon type of the Holy Mandylion represents the very first not made by human hands image of the Savior miraculously created by Christ himself. According to the Christian tradition, King Abgar of Edessa wrote to Jesus, asking him to come cure him of an illness. Instead, one of the seventy disciples, Thaddeus, is said to have come to Edessa, bearing the words and an image of Jesus, by the virtues of which the king was miraculously healed. To create his likeness, Jesus used a face-cloth which miraculously bore the image of His face. This image of Christ preserved on the face cloth was kept and venerated in Edessa, and became known as “The Holy Image of Edessa”, the “Holy Mandylion” (from Greek “face cloth”), or “The Image Not Made With Human Hands”. This iconographic type is widely used by both the Eastern and the Western Christian Churches.
