St. Benedict Icon (Mcgough) - Icon

Unlike most icons of St Benedict which portray him as a rather stern looking old man, this one shows him at a younger age, abbot's staff in one hand and his famous rule in the other, accompanied by a raven and thorn bush, symbols of his life as a hermit in Subiaco.
 
This icon is wood-mountedon 5/8" Pro-Wood, with tee-slots milled in the back for easy hanging. This icon is finished in classic cherry to replicate the traditional icon red, in keeping with Byzantine tradition. It comes with a descriptive pamphlet explaining the symbolism and history of the image. Made in the Conception Abbey USA.
