This tender and spiritually rich hand-painted icon honors Saints Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Theotokos and grandparents of Jesus Christ. Crafted in the traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and embellished with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, radiating warmth, faith, and holy love.
Though long childless, Saints Joachim and Anne remained faithful to God. In their old age, their prayers were answered with the miraculous birth of the Virgin Mary. They are celebrated as models of patience, devotion, and parental grace, and are beloved patrons of families, married couples, and grandparents.
