This is a hand painted replica of the Wonder working Icon of Damascus, Syria. 35x27 cm
In the home of Myrna and Nicolas in Soufanieh, on November 27th, 1982, coinciding with the anniversary date of the apparition of the Virgin Mary to Saint Catherine Laboura in 1830, at the rue du Bac in Paris, France. Pure Olive Oil started to exude from a small replica of the icon of the Virgin of Kazan and from many copies of the same Icon
Traditionally painted in tempera with pure colour pigments and egg on traditionally prepared wood with gesso. All paintings are done by an experienced painter. Wood cut to size, is first sized to seal the grain. Then a piece of white linen fabric is glued with rabbit skin glue and ten layer of gesso is laid on. The last layer is sanded to a smooth marble finish. Dried pigments are mixed with egg yoke/vinegar (egg tempera). 23-karat gold and/or silver leaf on bole is used. Gold is burnished and sometimes decorated.
