This striking hand-painted icon honors the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, the two great pillars of the early Church. Created in the traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and adorned with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, reflecting the divine calling and spiritual authority of these Apostles.
Though very different in background—Peter, the fisherman and steadfast disciple; Paul, the former persecutor turned fiery preacher—they are united in faith, martyrdom, and unwavering commitment to Christ. Together, they symbolize the unity and mission of the Church: rooted in both tradition and evangelism, humility and bold proclamation.
