The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist Icon.
This icon depicts the martyrdom of Saint John the Baptist, capturing the moment of his beheading, symbolizing his courage, righteousness, and unwavering witness to God’s truth. Traditionally, John is shown with serene faith despite his imminent death, while an angel with wings holds a platter containing his head, emphasizing the sanctity of his sacrifice and his role as the Forerunner of Christ. This sacred image invites contemplation, prayer, veneration, and spiritual connection.
This handcrafted Beheading of Saint John the Baptist icon is carefully glued onto solid hardwood and sealed under a smooth, glossy epoxy resin for a vibrant, luminous finish. Available in one size, 19 cm × 27 cm, and in four exquisite wood types—Amaranth, African Padauk, Black Walnut, or Cherry—each piece carries its own unique tone and presence.
Please note that the black, brown, red, or burgundy border visible in the print will not appear in the final product. This adjustment is made for production purposes and ensures a cleaner, more luminous finish. Additionally, because each icon is made by hand, extremely slight variations in size and tone may occur, making every piece uniquely its own.
A timeless and reverent piece, perfect for display in your home, prayer space, or as a meaningful gift.
