🎨Icon painters follow the techniques and styles of Byzantine and Russian artists from the 12th to 15th centuries.
🌟Icons are created with prayerful intention, serving as a visual expression of God's love and a source of spiritual growth.
🖌️The icon painting process involves creating a wooden plank, applying gesso, and using ground minerals for the paints.
🙏Icons hold deep meaning and can bring miracles and blessings into people's lives.
🌈An icon is not just a piece of art; it is a portal to the divine, radiating light and healing energy.
