🔹 Product Description
This handmade wooden Byzantine icon of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors and all who travel by sea, is lovingly crafted in Greece as a faithful reproduction of an authentic Byzantine prototype.
This unique icon combines a beautifully detailed lithographic depiction of Saint Nicholas saving sailors with an exceptional handcrafted three-dimensional wooden ship featuring fabric sails and a decorative metal chain. This artistic composition symbolizes Saint Nicholas' blessing for safe voyages and calm seas.
Every icon is unique, and even when reproducing the same subject, slight variations may occur due to the handmade craftsmanship.

Artistic Process & Materials
Artistic Process
All our icons are faithful reproductions of authentic Byzantine originals. They are created with high-quality lithographic printing on paper mounted on canvas, which is then applied to solid fir wood (never MDF). Each piece is enhanced with artistic touches, our signature aging technique, and protected with eco-friendly water-based varnish for maximum durability.
Every piece is unique and may show slight variations due to the handmade process.
Materials Used
Solid fir wood, iron, canvas, paper, and in some cases bronze, copper, fabric, and 8-karat gold leaf (on select icons or by request).
We use exclusively solid natural wood for authenticity and durability — never MDF.
Certificate of Authenticity
Every icon comes with a certificate of authenticity. Alexandros Stratoulis is an official member of the Greek Chamber of Fine Arts. All design and craftsmanship take place at the GENESIS workshop using our traditional aging technique.
