This finely crafted hand-painted icon honors Saints Cyril and Methodius, the brothers known as the Apostles to the Slavs and great missionaries of the 9th century. Painted in the traditional Byzantine style using egg tempera and adorned with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, reflecting their deep spiritual wisdom and missionary zeal.
Saints Cyril and Methodius translated the Holy Scriptures and liturgical texts into Slavonic and created the Glagolitic alphabet, paving the way for the Christianization of the Slavic peoples. They are venerated as pillars of unity, learning, and the evangelization of nations.
