St. Nathaniel

An exquisite Greek Orthodox Icon of St. Nathaniel, handmade & handpainted by an expert Greek hagiographer.

Saint Nathanael, whose name means “the gift of God,” was from Cana of Galilee (John 21:2). He was brought to the Savior by Phillip, as described in the Fourth Gospel (John 1:45-51). Christ calls him a true Israelite, which means “one who sees God.” Nathanael was amazed when Christ says that He had seen him under the fig tree. Then He says that Nathanael will see even greater things; he will the heavens opened, and “the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”

Made using traditional materials (selected aged timber frames, egg tempera, 24K gold leaf, natural powder paint and varnishes) and old techniques, this icon is an exact reproduction of an antique Byzantine masterpiece.

The icon bears the artist’s signature on the front and the seal of authenticity on the back.
