The hand-made icon `Never-fading color` .

 Hand-made. We used a wooden board as a base for the icon and applied gesso.

The gesso is applied in several layers with intermediate sanding. Sometimes we leave cracks and chips on it, which give the icon a special, antique charm.

The image of the icon is applied to the gesso in a special way. 

We manage to keep the colors rich and bright, and the texture of the image is very similar to a painting.

The size of the icon is 30*21 cm. 

The meaning of the icon: 

The meaning of this image is truly great. It symbolizes purity and innocence. Perhaps that is why girls come to the icon with prayers, wanting to preserve their innocence for their future spouse. By the way, people also turn to the icon with requests for the Virgin Mary to help them choose a husband. Most often, the `Never-Fading Flower` is used when blessing the young. The meaning of the icon in a woman's family life is also very great - it helps to cope with all the adversities that fall to a woman's difficult lot.
