The Resurrection

$115.00

The Story Behind This Icon:

The icon of the Resurrection, also known as “Christ’s Descent into Hades” and “the Anastasis”, is the icon of Easter, celebrating Jesus’ triumph over death. The icon depicts Jesus Christ descending into Hades and pulling Adam and Eve from the tombs, symbolizing His victory back to the very beginning of mankind. The two golden bars under Jesus’ feet (note that His feet and hands still carry the signs of His crucifixion) are the gates of Hades which He has broken open. On the left of the icon, we see David and Solomon, representing those who died before Jesus’ crucifixion, waiting patiently in Hades for their Messiah. On the right side of the icon, we see Abel as a shepherd, the first person to die as a result of the Fall, as well as Saint John the Baptist. In the darkness below, keys, locks & chains symbolize that He has entered and conquered both death and Hades.

This icon of The Resurrection is reproduced, with permission, from the authentic icon painted by the monks in the Cell of St. John the Theologian Holy Monastery of Koutloumousiou in Mount Athos, Greece.

This icon is made of solid, natural limewood (Tilia) that has been prepared by hand using traditional methods and organic materials. The background is comprised of 22 Karat gold leaves that were meticulously applied by hand, piece by piece.

Heaven on Earth!

I ordered the Resurrection icon (size 8"x10", recessed style), which arrived today. It was packaged with great care and attention.

When I opened the USPS box and saw the icon's presentation box, I was already impressed. This will be a Baptism gift for a husband and wife, and the presentation boxing is beautiful (see the above video).

When I opened the presentation box, the beauty of the icon was simply overwhelming! The gold background it heavenly, and the detail of the image is lovely. The mounting is beyond study. This icon was made to last.

I am completely satisfied with the quality and beauty of this icon and highly recommend Athonite.

Amazing

Exceptionally beautiful. I ordered the 7.9 x 11. It has a recessed edge which adds subtle depth and creates a soft framing of the image. The colors are rich and sharp. The gold leaf is brilliant. The fidelity of the print is marvelous. It feels very sturdy as well. I am beyond pleased with this icon.

Beautiful

I ordered the 5 x 7 size. The icon is very beautiful. The quality is exceptional. The case that it comes in is a very nice added touch. I did have a question about my order and the response was very quick and very kind. Shipping was timely and very well packaged. I look forward to purchasing additional icons from this vendor. God Bless.

Exceptional Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos!

I have purchased several superb holy icons from the Athoniteusa collection, and this truly exceptional icon of the Most Holy Theotokos is one of them!
I purchased the large size icon (11.8" x 15.7"). This icon of the Most Holy Theotokos is a masterpiece!
Athoniteusa has the most beautiful and highest quality holy icons that I have seen in Greece and the US!
The quality of the Athoniteusa icons is truly exceptional and impressive in every aspect: the choice of miraculous, unique or rare holy icons as prototypes; the stellar depiction of the holy images according to the Byzantine tradition of iconography; the vibrancy of the colors; the amazing level of detail and beauty of the colors and gold-gilded leaves; the highest quality, weight, and thickness of the wood; and the overall meticulous and fine craftsmanship!
Athoniteusa has also created beautiful packaging that complements the outstanding quality and beauty of the icons.
Thank you Athoniteusa for providing this unique collection of outstanding holy icons, and for the great blessing to have them in our homes and offer them as precious, lifetime gifts!

Absolutely Gorgeous!!!

I really enjoyed this icon and gave it as a present for a baptism (I was the godmother) - the picture does not do this icon justice as in person it was much more beautiful. In addition, the box and packaging that it came in were outstanding and I would highly recommend, especially if you are giving as a present because I did not need to buy a box for it. I highly recommend this icon - the quality is great and I will definitely be buying more icons from this company!

Cherished Cross

I received my 2 knitted Crosses today. One for my sister-in law and one for me. The size of this little knitted cross is small,lightweight on a comfortable black cord. Although small in size it is to be "cherished" for I understand prayers were being said while crafting the Blessed cross .
I am wearing this item now as I submit this review with great joy and humbled by the
Craftmenship ,patience and love that went into this delicate, precious icon of our Lord's passion. Thank you! Rita R.

Compare Dimensions

Our most popular dimensions are pictured, to scale. 

Icon Styles

Depending on the size and theme, Holy Icons are available in both Recessed and Level styles.

recessed

The groove in our recessed icons adds depth to the Iconography, making the icon even more dramatic and impressive. In order to keep the relative proportions, the depth of the groove changes with the size of the Holy Icon.

Level

Level icons allow the Iconography to retain its boldness even in smaller sizes. As such most of our level icons have smaller dimensions.

Backside Details

Backside details vary with icon size and serve to ensure that your Holy Icon will stand the test of time. 

Solid wooden icons of larger dimensions are prone to bending and damaging as time passes. Fortunately, our Holy Icons are supported by two additional, horizontal wooden protective panels on the backside. These panels bolster the icon and allow it to sustain its shape, ensuring that your Holy Icon will remain in its original, pristine condition as it is passed down from generation to generation.

Icons of smaller dimensions are naturally sustainable over time, and experience less structural stress. As such, you will find that the backside of smaller Holy Icons is flat and proportional to their shape.
