It has been crafted on solid natural wood & it was carved by hand. The creator of this icon has learned the canonization of Byzantine iconography & the theme is an exact copy of Byzantine hagiography. Saint Demetrios was born in Thesaloniki, Greece in 270 AD. He came from a wealthy family & because he was athletic in appearance & heroic in spirit, he became a high-ranking officer in the Roman Army at a very young age. (This is why he is depicted in Byzantine icons in military dress, either standing or riding a horse.) He considered himself a soldier of Christ first, & a military soldier second. He spent most of his time as a devout missionary, preaching the Gospel at secret meetings & converting pagans to the Christian faith. Can be hung on a wall or placed on a flat surface. The item is sold without the stand depicted. Saint Demetrius Icon, Handmade Greek Orthodox Icon Of St Demetrios, Byzantine Art Wall Hanging On Wood Plaque, Religious Decor
