St. Gennadius was born in the city Mogilev into a rich family. When he was young he secretly left his parental house and journeyed to Moscow. From there he went to the Vologda forest to St. Cornelius of Komel, and was tonsured by him. In 1529 he emerged the Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Lord and became Abbot. He died on January 23, 1565 and was buried in the wooden Church of the Transfiguration he built. His feast day is on January 23.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
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.
