If, for any reason, you find yourself dissatisfied with the received icon or if it incurs damage during delivery, our hassle-free return policy ensures your peace of mind. We gladly accept full refunds within 30 days from the date of receiving the package, without requiring you to provide a reason. We believe that your experience should be as sacred as the icons we create, and we are committed to making it right. **Consecration of Icons:** In our workshop, we hold a sacred tradition of consecrating our icons on the relics of St. Theophan the Recluse. This spiritual practice imbues our creations with a divine essence, adding an extra layer of significance to the art you welcome into your home. Our commitment to authenticity and reverence is reflected in this sacred act of consecration. **Custom Orders and Sizing:** Tailoring your sacred experience is at the heart of our workshop. While our website features a range of icon sizes, we understand that individual preferences may vary. Should you desire an icon larger than the ones indicated on our website, we welcome custom orders of any size. Please note that the delivery cost for larger icons is calculated individually. For personalized inquiries, reach out to us at novikovaps@gmail.com, and we'll be delighted to assist you in creating a unique piece that resonates with your spiritual journey. **Inclusivity in Icon Purchase:** Our belief is that the divine is open to everyone. While our workshop specializes in Russian Orthodox art, we extend a warm welcome to individuals of all faiths. The main consideration lies in the respect shown to the icon. Embracing diversity, we encourage those from various religious backgrounds to explore and appreciate the spiritual and artistic richness embedded in our creations. In conclusion, at our icon workshop, we are not merely artisans; we are stewards of sacred traditions and guardians of your spiritual journey. From the moment you place an order to the delivery of your sacred icon, our commitment to excellence, authenticity, and customer satisfaction remains unwavering.
