I just wanted to let you know that that the relic of St. Emygdius and accompanying documents arrived today here in Croatia. The relic will already be in a public procession very soon as Croatia has recently been rocked by strong earthquakes! Thank you once again for your professional approach! I look forward to doing future transactions with your company

The five icons have arrived. Absolutely stunning! As ever, many thanks – and no doubt I’ll be back again in the future.

Спасибо вам огромное за помощь в приобретении иконы. Я думала сложно будет купить, а нет) есть Вы. В России сложно такое найти. Вы молодцы. Храни вас бог и удачи.

Thank you so much for the beautiful icons! I received them today and love them. They are exquisite. Thank you, too, for arranging a payment plan for me, and for putting a wire on the back of each so I can hang them. I can't wait to do so.

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!

Russian Icon - Holy Apostle and Evangelist Saint John the Theologian from the Royal Doors

The icon depicts Holy Apostle and Evangelist Saint John the Theologian. The Apostle John is painted in a realistic manner and shown as a young man in a process of writing the Gospel. To his left, an eagle - a king of birds, that traditionally symbolized St. John. The round shape of the icon alludes to that it was originally a part of the Royal Doors of an iconostasis. The composition and a style of painting closely resembles an iconographic portrait of St. John the Theologian painted in 1809 by a famous Russian artist Vladimir Borovikovsky for the Royal Doors of the Kazan Cathedral in Saint Petersburg (currently in the collection of the State Russian Museum),
