To say thank you

A thank-you gift that leaves a mark

There are people for whom a simple thank-you is not enough: the doctor who cared for a family member, the teacher who changed a child's life, the godparent, the priest, the colleague retiring after a lifetime of work. A hand-painted icon expresses gratitude in a way that lasts.

The right subject for every thank-you

For a doctor or nurse

The Good Samaritan, or the physician saints Cosmas and Damian.

For a teacher

The patron saint of the school, or the Mother of God Hodegetria, «she who shows the way».

For a godparent

The godchild's name saint, with the baptism date on the back.

For a retirement

The patron of the profession, or an icon for the home they will now enjoy more.

For a priest

The Good Shepherd or the saint of his name.

For a charitable work

The Good Samaritan, like the one painted for the Mission of Hope and Charity in Palermo.

A group gift

A thank-you gift is often a group gift: a class, a hospital ward, a parish, lifelong colleagues. The givers' names are written on the back of the panel or in the booklet. Every icon is commissioned with an offering proportionate to the time and materials of the work, and arrives with a certificate of authenticity on real parchment, photographs of every stage and a booklet explaining its meaning.
