Ladder of Divine Ascent (Sinai) Icon - F148
My very first time going to an Orthodox Church by myself was on the day of the Ladder. It had such an impact on me. This was my first icon purchase ever. And it’s beautiful! I got the largest one in the masterpiece and waxed back. It took a little longer to get here but so worth the wait. Great company to work with!

THE ICON FOR "SANCTIFICATION"
I Ordered this in a large size for greater impact; then I put it on a 10-inch wrought iron stand and then put a mini led flood at the base to illuminate it. WOW what an impact; this is a powerful icon; get one

Beautiful
We have a large version of this icon hanging up at Church. A friend of mine mentioned he was purchasing this icon in a large size to put at the bottom of his stairwell at his house. I thought that was a great idea! I've put it in a similar area in my house and it looks wonderful! The quality is excellent! I couldn't have asked for a better reproduction!

A great value!
I was very pleased with the icon, "The Ladder of Divine Ascent! I ordered one with the wax covering. I think the wax covering gives it a nice look, as well as protect it from drying out.

Thank For Providing This Service
I love the quality of this Icon. Now I feel I've got the companion to my copy of " Saint John Climacus, The Ladder of Divine Ascent" which of course, the Bible being the first this is the second greatest book ever, the rungs are the same numbers of steps, and you can even figure what rung some are falling from, from " the books " thirty steps. The original Iconographer knew this book well It gives me the SHIVERS !

Top notch quality and accurate color tone!
I am completely satisfied with the quality of the icon I received! I opted for the best quality offered (masterpiece mounted/protective wax) and feel it was well worth it. The icon I ordered is The Ladder of Divine Ascent--which is my favorite icon--so I'm thankful to have it be created with such excellence. Also, the coloring is perfectly to my liking, which is a complaint I have with many other icon producers--the tint often feels too brown or too yellow. Legacy Icons seems to know exactly how to reproduce true to the original icon.

A haunting and somewhat stark image
This icon is somewhat stark . Souls being pulled and lured away from their paths . I chose it this icon to remind myself of what is at stake
