Sacred icons hand-painted in Italy for Canada
Canada is home to one of the largest Ukrainian communities in the world outside Ukraine, a lively Greek community and Lebanese and Syrian families of Antiochian and Maronite tradition. For many of them the family icon is a bond with their roots.
The Christian East in Canada
- In Toronto the Greek churches of the Danforth and the Ukrainian Catholic and Orthodox parishes.
- In Montréal Saint Joseph's Oratory, one of the great sanctuaries of North America, alongside Greek, Ukrainian and Antiochian churches.
- On the prairies of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the onion-domed Ukrainian churches built by the pioneers.

Commissioning and shipping
Consultations take place online, in English or Italian. During the work you receive photographs of every stage; the icon arrives with protective packaging and, on request, insured shipping, together with its certificate of authenticity on real parchment and its explanatory booklet. Shipping conditions and any customs formalities are checked case by case at the time of commission.
