He is also depicted with the Gospel book, emphasizing his devotion to faith and preaching. The icon can be hung or displayed standing, thanks to the stand included in the box. Hand-finished with meticulous attention to detail. Made entirely in Italy by a leading company in the production of silver pictures.
