This beautifully hand-painted icon honors Saint Matthew the Apostle and Evangelist, one of the Twelve Apostles and author of the first Gospel. Painted in the traditional Byzantine style using egg tempera and enriched with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood—symbolizing the Apostle’s humility and divine calling.
Originally a tax collector, Saint Matthew responded to Christ’s call with total devotion. He is revered as the patron of repentance, writers, and those seeking spiritual clarity through the Gospel.
