Story of this Icon
Saint Macarius the Great of Egypt was a remarkable desert father who became one of the most influential monastics in Christian history. After being widowed early in life, he dedicated himself to spiritual pursuits while caring for his elderly parents. Following their deaths, he sought spiritual guidance and eventually settled in the desert, where he faced and overcame numerous trials, including false accusations and demonic attacks. Ordained to the priesthood at forty, he founded the desert monastic community of Scetis and was known throughout the land for his profound spiritual wisdom but equally great humility.

Lovely icon. Very well made and pleasant to look at.
Beautiful icon, carving and gold leaf done perfectly. The image not made by hands is a must-have. Engraving of the Jesus prayer on the back is the cherry on top.
This is a beautiful addition to my prayer altar. The simplicity and workmanship and expression of the Holy Mother is gorgeous.
I love these icons, they fit perfectly in my room.
