About Us
The Greek Soul
We are the result of a committed relationship with the Greek Orthodox Church and the Greek community. To the Orthodox Christian, icons are an integral part of his or her prayer life.
Icons are made in various ways. Most people are familiar with paper icons laminated upon wood. These icons are affordable and generally available. Traditionally, hand painted icons have been out of the reach of the average consumer. It is our desire to provide a reliable source for hand painted icons and especially "custom order" icons, making it possible to adorn your prayer corner in your home with high quality pieces inspired by the original works found in the monasteries.
We are able to provide an "custom" hand painted icons, written in the traditional byzantine manner, for the saint or religious event of your choice in dimensions to meet your specifications. Although the wait can be lengthy (sometimes up to 3 or 4 months) the result is nothing less than breathtaking.
We like to think of it in these terms: most of us think nothing of spending several hundred dollars on Christmas trees and decorations for the Christmas holiday season. But as Orthodox Christians, how appropriate it would be for us to spend the same amount on a hand painted icon of the Nativity of Christ and for THIS to become the focal point in our home for the celebration of the birth of our Savior.
