The Apostles Carrying the Church Icon

The Apostles Carrying the Church. This icon depicts the holy Apostles bearing the Church together, revealing the mystery of the Church as the Body of Christ upheld by apostolic faith, unity, and sacrifice. Portrayed in harmony and shared purpose, the Apostles are shown carrying the Church as a single foundation, emphasizing their collective responsibility to preserve, proclaim, and transmit the faith entrusted to them by Christ. This holy image reveals the unity of the Church, the continuity of apostolic tradition, and the living presence of Christ within His people.

This Apostles Carrying the Church 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 two 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.
