Hand-Painted Greek Orthodox Icon of Jesus Christ the Lightgiver

Description: I purchased this icon while living in Jerusalem in 2011. I do not know how old the icon is, but I know that it was previously in a frame, either displayed in a church or a prayer corner. It was painted by a Cretan nun whose name appears on the lower left of the icon. It is painted with egg tempera and gold leaf; the colors are bold but well blended, and the gold is deep and rich, either 23.5k or 24k leaf. The icon is approximately 9"W x 12"L x 1"H. The text in the book is from John 8:12, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." Ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου · ὁ ἀκολουθῶν ἐμοὶ οὐ μὴ περιπατήσῃ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ, ἀλλ’ ἕξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς. If you have any other questions about the icon, please let me know!
