Serigraph Icons from Mount Athos Crafted by Monks
The post presents sacred Orthodox icons produced on Mount Athos using the traditional serigraph process. Monks apply layers of paint and finish each icon by hand, creating raised details and a rich textured surface. On some icons the names of the monks who made them appear on the back, preserving a direct connection to the hands that produced each sacred image.
The featured icons are Christ the King and Great High Priest, the Theotokos of the Passion, and Saint John the Baptist and Forerunner. Each icon measures 7.5 by 9.8 inches. The description is given in English and in Greek. The post is identified as an original production of Prayer Orthodoxy.
