Availability information

Manually painted wood icon of John the Forerunner. Miniature measuring 7x10 cm. Original artwork.

The glorious Prophet and Forerunner John the Baptist is also referred to as John the Forerunner because he was the forerunner of Christ. He was an ascetic and great prophet, who baptized Christ and became one of the most revered saints in the Orthodox Church. John is a cousin of Christ through his mother Elizabeth who was the daughter of Zoia. Zoia is the sister of Christ's grandmother. He was later beheaded by Herod in the first century to satisfy the request of Herod's stepdaughter, Salome, and wife Herodias. Because he baptized Christ, he is the patron saint of godparents. He is sometimes called the Angel of the Desert; because of this title, he is sometimes depicted with wings.

Varianta putin modificata

Am cerut sa il picteze pe Sf Ioan putin mai "ciufulit" si cu aripi, ca in icoanele clasice. Imi place mult ce am primit, inclusiv barba ii este mai lunga si pufoasa. Sunt foarte multumita de lucrare, sotul meu e incantat de iconita in aceasta varianta (el si-a dorit-o asa). Multumim!

Superbă!

O reprezentare frumoasă și autentică a Sf. Ioan Botezătorul. Poate reprezenta oricând un cadou deosebit.
