This magnificent hand-painted icon honors Saint Mark the Evangelist, the inspired author of the Gospel according to Mark and one of the revered Four Evangelists. Painted in the traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and enriched with authentic 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, reflecting the saint’s spiritual authority and apostolic mission.
Saint Mark, a companion of the Apostle Peter and the founder of the Church of Alexandria, is symbolized by the winged lion — representing courage, royalty, and the power of the Gospel. His Gospel vividly presents the life, miracles, and Passion of Christ, calling all to faith and repentance.
