This powerful icon depicts the Chief Apostles, Saint Peter, who holds the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, and Saint Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, with his epistles.

Hand-Carved from the Finest Materials

Each Holy Apostles Peter and Paul wood carved icon is a product of immense skill and devotion. Our artisans select only the highest quality solid Oak or Walnut, woods known for their strength and beautiful finish. The entire carving process is done by hand, a meticulous labor of love that takes between 10 and 20 days. This dedication to traditional craftsmanship ensures that every detail—from the expressions of the Apostles to the folds of their robes—is rendered with lifelike clarity.

After carving, the icon is carefully sanded and finished with eco-friendly, water-based paints. A final layer of transparent varnish is applied to protect the artwork and ensure it remains a cherished part of your home for decades to come.
