This striking hand-painted icon honors Saint Thomas the Apostle, one of the Twelve Apostles of Christ, known for his moment of doubt and his profound confession of faith. Painted 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, symbolizing the journey from uncertainty to unwavering belief.
Often remembered as "Doubting Thomas," the Apostle is also revered for his fearless missionary work and martyrdom. After witnessing the risen Christ and proclaiming “My Lord and my God,” Saint Thomas went on to spread the Gospel as far as India, where he is still honored as the founder of Christian communities.
