Description
This icon, known as the Holy Face, Holy Napkin or Mandylion, portrays the face of Christ on a piece of cloth carried by two angels. According to Christian legend, King Abgar of Edessa wrote to Jesus, asking him to come cure him of an illness. Jesus declined the invitation, but sent a disciple with a miracle-working image of Jesus the first icon. The "Made Without Hands" image has long been considered a powerful weapon against iconoclasm.
Painted by the contemporary Russian iconographers Roman and Anna Davidovskiy, this icon captures the beauty and glory of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
The feast of the ‘Holy Face’ icon is celebrated on August 16.
Micro Icons are tiny, miniature icons that are currently available with six different images. At a size of 1x¾", they can be placed virtually anywhere to bring the sacred into daily life—computer monitors, bookshelves, window sills, and even car dashboards.
They make excellent gifts, and could be used for rewards for students, and a host of other uses. Micro Icons are produced using the same museum-quality process as our other icons.
Size: 1" x ¾" (25x20mm)
Note: Do not give Micro Icons to very young children, as they may be a choking hazard. Please also keep in mind that Micro Icons are sacred images and should be treated as such—they are not toys.
