Wooden The Icon of the Myrrh Bearing Women

The icon depicts the Gospel events of the morning of the Resurrection. In the morning, several women from among His disciples approached the cave where the body of Jesus Christ was laid. They wanted to anoint His body with incense, precious myrrh, according to ancient custom. These women are glorified as saints and known as the Myrrh-Bearing Women.

On the way to the cave, the women worried about how they would convince the guards to let them inside and how to move the stone that blocked the entrance. At this time, the Angel of the Lord appeared before them, driving away the Roman soldiers and telling them that they should not look for “He who is with the dead... like a man,” since Christ had risen! The stone from the tomb was rolled away, the Savior’s body was no longer there.

The icon is made by printing on a wooden board. Paints are mineral, do not fade with time. The thickness of the board is 2 cm. The board is covered with primer by hand. The image is covered with wax. Each icon has a metal mount on the back side so that you can hang the icon on the wall.

You can buy the icon in three sizes:

  • 13 х 10 centimeters (5,1 x 3,9 inches)
  • 19 х 15 centimeters (7,5 x 5,9 inches)
  • 26 х 20 centimeters (10,2 x 7,9 inches)

Our icons are made by Orthodox craftsmen. You can read more about the technology here.

We hope it will be a good gift for you and your loved ones.
