Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker Icon Tapestry

Almost 17 centuries have passed since the death of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker. Saint Nicholas was an amazing person - he helped those that asked him for help, he also helped those who were ashamed to ask for his help, and he even searched on his own for those that needed his help. And every time his help was provided in secret. That is why he is one of the most venerated saints in Russia and every Russian Orthodox temple has his icon. Moreover, his prayer is read at every Thursday worship. To this day, thousands of the faithful turn to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker for help with their problems and he answers, protecting from misfortune, caring for those who have no one to care or have compassion for them, and giving strength to endure sudden and unforeseen ordeals. Though it has been over one thousand six hundred and seventy years since his death, Saint Nicholas' image has been scrupulously preserved in icons, so that even the less versed in iconography are able to quickly recognize his image. The golden thread that was used in making this tapestry shines and sparkles, giving the image a wonderful, subtle glow and making it look a lot like the authentic and ancient and icons. This icon tapestry will make a great present for anyone interested in Orthodox Christian art!
