In the chaos of desires and big fortune, the common
man has forgotten the importance of divine power in its life. The artists of icons for prayers is presenting physical as
well as spiritual experience. Any onlooker by utilizing his/her sense of smell,
can open windows of eternity hidden in his personality. These icons serve as
mediums of instruction for the uneducated faithful fellows. Imagine the effect
of a screen shielding the altar and depicting scenes from the New Testament,
church feasts, and popular saints.
The
icons of Saint
Luke with dimensions: 12″ x 9″, Transfiguration with dimensions: 24″ x 18″, Madonna
with dimensions: 17″ x 11″ and Saint Joan with dimensions: 10″ x 8″ establish peaceful atmosphere surrounding
you and you decide to pray wherever you are. The list of excuses and a new
personality emerges instantly. The aim behind all
kinds of incarnation is to express a saint or teaching mystically. No one can
reproduce a saint or any incident from Old Testament. Icons
for prayers have been part of
orthodox spirituality for approximately 1500 years and there is no other smart
technique to make others understand holiness within him/her.
