After the Lord's Ascension into heaven, the Apostles spent their days in prayer, preparing for the coming of the Holy Spirit. On the morning of the 50th day of His Resurrection, the Lord sent the Holy Spirit upon them as He had promised. There was the sound of a violent wind that filled the house, and tongues of fire appeared on each of the Apostles. They began to speak in various languages by the power of the Holy Spirit, and preached to those who were visiting in Jerusalem. Saint Peter revealed the meaning of the scriptures to the Jews, and his sermon is recorded in Acts chapter 2. Three thousand souls were baptized on that day.
The descent of the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the tongues of fire at the heads of the Apostles. The bearded crowned figure at the bottom symbolizes the World, and he is holding twelve scrolls as a sign of the Apostles' evangelical message to come.

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.
