I just wanted to send you an email to let you know that the Passion Relics arrived safe & sound this morning. They are more beautiful than the photos shown in the description on your website!

Спасибо вам огромное за помощь в приобретении иконы. Я думала сложно будет купить, а нет) есть Вы. В России сложно такое найти. Вы молодцы. Храни вас бог и удачи.

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.

18-century Fine Russian Icon - Holy Apostle and Evangelist St. John the Theologian in Silence in silver basma

The icon depicts Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian in silence. The Apostle John is shown in the later years, as the elder “Theologian” holding the Gospel in his hands. To his left, an angel is shown whispering the Gospel into John’s ear, yet the Apostle does not look to him but casts his eyes down in contemplation. To his right - an eagle, an animal seen as the king of the birds, traditionally symbolizing St. John. The Saint’s right hand is raised up, making the sign of the cross over his mouth, guarding it lest he was to say something from his own imagination: the great Evangelist is reduced to silence.
