Authentic icon "Annunciation"

Annunciation (announcement) is an evangelical event and the Christian holiday dedicated to it: the Annunciation by the Archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary that she will give birth in the flesh to the expected Savior of mankind, the son of God - Jesus Christ.

It is celebrated on March 25. It was established in the Orthodox Church in the 7th century. It is revered by all major Christian denominations (Old Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Protestantism).

The icon is created using materials and paints according to the original technology for making of Orthodox icons. Gold leaf, patina, and cracking varnish were used, to make the icon look even more authentic. The icon is painted with egg tempera paint, as per the traditional technology for icon painting.

This lovely work of art is signed by the artist, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
