Description
The Holy Face, also known as the Image of Edessa or the Mandylion, is an ancient icon featuring the face of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is boldly framed on a red background and the Slavonic letters IC XC NIKA, which means "Jesus Christ Conquers."
This Legacy Icons exclusive flag is 3x5 feet (about 90x150 cm) in size and double-sided for correct display on either side. It features a double hemmed fly and a very sturdy reinforced hoist with metal grommets.
Caring for your flag
- It is the nature of all fabric fibers to deteriorate and break down due to weather and exposure to the sun.
- For best longevity, fly your flag only during daylight hours during fair weather. Tests have shown that flying a flag 24 hours a day will generally reduce its lifespan by half or more.
- Flags can be hand washed with warm water and mild soap, rinsed thoroughly and spread out to dry.
- In wet conditions (rain or snow) a flag will naturally soak up water, adding mass to the flag which cause the fly end to fray more quickly. To avoid this, take your flag down in bad weather and during strong winds.
- If the fly end begins to fray, take the flag down immediately, trim it and re-hem it to help extend its lifespan.
- Consider having two flags and swapping them regularly. Tests have shown that flag fibers can benefit from periodic "rest," and you will not be without a flag while one is being cleaned or repaired.

Holy Face Flag
The flag I received is not red. It is more like burgundy or maroon colored. It would be nice if it was the same color as the depicted one.one

Great Quality
The flag is good quality, double-sided. Meaning that it is two flags sewn together which is very good for flag longevity. I have flown it outside every day for a week and it is doing great. The image of Christ is like the image they provide of the flag on the pole. It is NOT orange like in the other picture. Highly recommend.

Need more size options
I absolutely love this flag and have been looking for this quality but I wish there were smaller size options for those of us with more modest flag poles
