Hand-painted sacred icons for New York
New York is the seat of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and one of the cities with the greatest variety of Eastern Christian communities in the world. Here the icon needs no introduction: those who seek one know how to recognise an authentic work.
The icon in New York
- Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine at Ground Zero, rebuilt to a design by Santiago Calatrava and consecrated in 2022.
- The Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Nicholas on the Upper East Side and the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Trinity.
- The Greek parishes of Astoria, the Serbian, Ukrainian and Antiochian communities, and Eastern Catholic churches.
- Saint Patrick's Cathedral and the Catholic communities that preserve the traditional liturgy.
Gift ideas in New York and nearby
For a Greek Orthodox wedding, a baptism, a name day (in Greek tradition celebrated more than a birthday) or the opening of an office in Manhattan, an icon hand-painted in Italy is a unique gift. On Long Island, in Westchester and New Jersey, many families of Greek and Italian descent keep family icons to hand down: a new icon, documented and certified, continues that story.
Christ Pantocrator
Roundel with Greek inscription.
Virgin of Tenderness
Decorated gold ground.
Commissioning and shipping to the United States
Consultations take place online, in English or Italian, at a time that suits your time zone. During the work you receive photographs of every stage; the icon arrives with its certificate of authenticity on real parchment and an explanatory booklet in English. Shipments to the United States require customs documentation and, because international rules and conditions change often, arrangements, timing, costs and any import charges are checked at the time of commission.
