It has been covered with varnish to keep the colors undiluted in time and humidity. Hanging clip included on the back of the icon.
By special permission of Pope Leo XIII she was allowed to enter the Carmelite convent at Lisieux at the young age of 15. In her autobiographical "The Story of a Soul" she describes her "little way" of simplicity and perfection in the doing of small things and discharge of daily duties which has become an inspiration and a pattern of holiness to "ordinary" people. After a painful last illness, this holy nun died at the age of 26, with words of divine love on her lips. On her deathbed in 1897 Saint Therese said: "After my death I will let fall a shower of roses." This shower of roses was graces and miracles she bestowed on those who sought her help. She is a patron saint of missions and of florists.

My handpainted icons are made from natural materials that constantly interact with their environment. These above materials are sensitive to extreme light, heat and humidity.
Handling the icons should also be done cautiously; oils from our hands can stain their shiny surface. Dust can softly be removed with a pure white cloth.
Following the above simple instructions will guarantee that your icon will age gracefully through time and will be enjoyed by the generations to come.
