Resurrection 1 The proof that God raised Jesus from the dead is not the empty tomb, but the full hearts of his transformed disciples. The crowning evidence that he lives is not a vacant grave, but a spirit-filled fellowship. In this icon, 2 spirit filled beings attend the Lord.  33 x 27cm, 13" x 10.6"
Saint Michael the Archangel The Archangel Michael is called the Great Taxiarch because of his premier rank among the Archangels. The icon depicted by Valerie at Abbey Icons is based on the fourteenth century prototype from Constantinople that is now held in the Byzantine Museum, Athens. The cryptogram in the sphere he holds is interpreted as Christ the Righteous Judge. He is a powerful warrior of light and the principal and the most recognizable Archangel. He usually holds his symbolic sword of truth and protective shield and deep royal blue cloak. He is often depicted symbolically slaying a serpent or dragon. These can be both signs and tools to protect, empower and free us.   29.8 x 25cm, 11.7" x 9.8"
