Christ The Good Shepherd - 6 x 8 (Maple)

The icon of Christ The Good Shepherd is perhaps one of the more famous and beloved icons that we have as Orthodox Christians. This version of Christ as The Good Shepherd was first found in the catacombs of Rome where persecuted Christians had this icon on the walls of their underground churches. The icon takes reference from St John's gospel where Christ says "I AM the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. I know my sheep and my sheep know Me."

This 6 x 8 icon of Christ The Good Shepherd in maple is the perfect medium size to have in your icon corner at home or on a mantle!

Note on wood products - All wood warps, that is something you have to remember with these icons. Warping over time will occur but it wont affect the icon. We use Feed-N-Wax for all of our icons which is our wood sealant and we recommend touching up the icons with this product as needed. If you get water spots from having the icon blessed the easiest way to get rid of them is to apply the Feed-N-Wax product mentioned above to the areas with the water spots and they should go away.

Note that the icon you will receive will vary slightly from picture shown. 

All of our icons are made to order, sculpted by Lydia Riley and made in Montana.
