After years of childlessness, an angel appeared to the aged Saints Joachim and Anna promising them a child. Saint Anna vowed to dedicate their child to the service of God. She gave birth to the holy Virgin Mary hotsell on September 8th. Three years later, in fulfillment of their vow, Saints Joachim and Anna took the Blessed Virgin to the temple, where they presented her to the priest Zacharias for a life of divine service as hand maiden in the template. Our Ss Joachim and Anna Icon portrays the patron saints of mothers, grandmothers and grandfathers. Like all of our popular saint icons, these can be ordered in a number of plaques, prints, and cathedral sizes.
THE TECHNIQUE:
The icon is painted with tempera paints and gold foil on gallery wrapped canvas. The icon is sealed with couple of varnish layers to assure a long lasting and well preserved image and to make it easy and safe to clean from dust.
Measurements: 5" (12cm)long by 6"(16cm) and approx 1 inch thick
