I received my shipment of relics today, and wanted to thank you. They are BEAUTIFUL. And the certificates are beautiful too. Thank you for carefully packaging everything with such care (relics in a wooden treasure box and certificates in clear plastic). These relics are indeed a treasure and will be honored tonight when I pray vespers. I will be definitely be looking to buy more relics from the Russian Store in the future.

The icon of Our Lady of Unexpected Joy arrived a couple hours ago, and I am delighted with it; beautiful workmanship and beautiful story that I very much find compelling. Thank you...it has a good home here with a candle burning in front of it. Be safe and be well.

Икона финифть - Св. Андрей Первозванный

Small Russian Finift Porcelain icon of St. Andrew the Apostle

A small rectangular hand-painted velvet-backed finift porcelain icon in its original brass frame depicting Saint Andrew the Apostle. Very good original condition.

Saint Andrew the Apostle was an apostle of Jesus according to the New Testament. He is referred to in the Orthodox tradition as the First-Called. According to Orthodox tradition, the apostolic successor to Andrew is the Patriarch of Constantinople. Tradition regarding the early Christian history of Ukraine holds that the apostle Andrew preached on the southern borders of modern-day Ukraine, along the Black Sea. Legend has it that he traveled up the Dnieper River and reached the future location of Kyiv, where he erected a cross on the site where the Saint Andrew's Church of Kyiv currently stands and where he prophesied the foundation of a great Christian city. Because of this connection to Kyiv, Andrew is considered to be the patron saint of the two East Slavic nations descended from the Kievan Rus: Ukraine and Russia, the latter country using the Saint Andrew's Cross on its naval ensign.
