The Harrowing of Hades Icon

The Harrowing of Hades. This icon depicts Christ’s victorious descent into Hades, where He shatters the gates of death and raises Adam and Eve from the grave. In this triumphant moment, Christ reveals His dominion over death and restores humanity from the bondage of corruption. This sacred image invites contemplation, prayer, veneration, and spiritual connection.

This Harrowing of Hades icon is carefully glued onto solid hardwood and sealed under a smooth, glossy epoxy resin, resulting in a vibrant finish. Once set, each piece is trimmed to size, sanded to perfection, and finished with a high-quality wood treatment oil that enhances the natural beauty. Available in two exquisite wood types—African Padauk and Black Walnut—and in three sizes, each piece carries its own unique tone and presence.

Since each icon is individually crafted by hand, subtle variations in size and tone may occur. The artisanal process ensures each piece is unique, adding to its authentic character and charm. All available sizes feature a uniform thickness of 2.5 cm.

A timeless and reverent piece, perfect for display in your home, prayer space, or as a meaningful gift.
