Archangel Gabriel Orthodox Icons

Archangel Gabriel Orthodox icons are hand-painted icons of the heavenly archangel especially connected with the Annunciation, joyful proclamation of divine will, obedience, purity, and hope. His icon is often chosen for a home prayer corner, a church or chapel, a pair with Archangel Michael, or as a thoughtful Orthodox gift.Hand-painted Archangel Gabriel icons from Mstyora
Our workshop paints Archangel Gabriel icons by hand in the traditional Orthodox manner. The image is prepared as a sacred icon: the face, wings, garments, staff, lily or other iconographic details, inscription, background, and composition are painted with respect for Orthodox tradition. The icon can be modest for personal prayer or more solemn for a church, chapel, or parish room.
