Christ & the Theotokos Full-Body Icon Applique Set: Byzantine Splendor in Blue, Red, and White
Enrich your liturgical vestments, church banners, or sacred textiles with this magnificent set of two full-body embroidered icon appliques. Featuring the Lord Jesus Christ and His Most Holy Mother, the Theotokos, these appliques are lovingly made by the Brotherhood of the Sacred Monastery of St. John of the Ladder in Boetia, Greece.
Striking Detail and Vibrant Colors
Each icon in this set is a testament to detailed embroidery and liturgical artistry:
- Full-Body Representations: Unlike bust-style icons, these appliques depict the full figures of Christ and the Theotokos with Child.
- Gold Thread Borders & Accents: A luminous gold thread border elegantly frames each icon, while additional gold accents highlight details within the robes and sacred imagery, adding a touch of divine radiance.
- Golden Halos: Both Christ and the Theotokos are adorned with intricately stitched golden halos.
- Red Sacred Text: Traditional red thread is used for sacred inscriptions on the icons, a hallmark of authentic Orthodox iconography.
- Distinctive Blue, Red, and White Palette: The icons predominantly feature a harmonious blend of royal blue, rich red, and pure white threads, creating a visually striking and memorable aesthetic.
Versatile for Prominent Sacred Display
These generously sized icon appliques are perfect for:
- Primary Vestment Adornment: Ideal as central icons on Phelonia, Sakkoi, or other significant pieces of clergy vestments.
- Church Banners and Hangings: Create stunning processional banners or decorative hangings for the church interior.
- Altar Cloths and Covers: Use as prominent embellishments on Altar cloths, analogion covers, or other large church textiles.
- Creating Large Framed Icons: These appliques can be carefully mounted and framed to produce substantial and beautiful icons for church or home display.
