Our icons are made of solid, natural limewood, and have been prepared by hand using traditional methods and organic materials. The background is composed of 22 karat gold leaves that are meticulously applied by hand, piece by piece. All iconography themes are reproduced according to museum print standards. We offer several collections of Holy Icons, featuring Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary and many Saints and Archangels.

All of Athonite icons are of superior quality. The 22 Karat gold leaf is lovely, rich and warm. I wanted to buy all of them when I saw the exhibit at our festival. I especially liked that this icon was given the name “She Who Is Quick to Hear”. Since I have an impatient nature, and I thought of one more place to set her so my prayers might be heard, I took her home with me. Thank you Angelica for helping me with my purchase.

Heaven on Earth! I ordered the Resurrection icon (size 8"x10", recessed style), which arrived today. It was packaged with great care and attention.
When I opened the USPS box and saw the icon's presentation box, I was already impressed. This will be a Baptism gift for a husband and wife, and the presentation boxing is beautiful (see the above video).
When I opened the presentation box, the beauty of the icon was simply overwhelming! The gold background it heavenly, and the detail of the image is lovely. The mounting is beyond study. This icon was made to last.
I am completely satisfied with the quality and beauty of this icon and highly recommend Athonite.

The icon of St. George that I recently purchased is absolutely gorgeous! Everything from the fine details in the painting, the gold background, and the wood block / frame are perfect. I have it hanging in my den, and every time I glance at it I smile. It is stunning! I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! It is heirloom quality!

Athonite has the most beautiful and highest quality holy icons that I have seen in Greece and the US! The quality of the Athonite icons is truly exceptional and impressive in every aspect: the choice of miraculous, unique or rare holy icons as prototypes; the stellar depiction of the holy images according to the Byzantine tradition of iconography & the vibrancy of the colors!

We were looking for an icon of St. Mary of Egypt for our parish and although many were very nice, this one is exceptional. I corresponded with customer service a few times about size options and they were very prompt, courteous and helpful.
The icon arrived last week and is absolutely beautiful! The case is sturdy and practical but at the same time nice looking as well. There is a handy thread to easily lift the icon out of the case without having to touch the icon which will help us to care for it over the years.
Our priest was pleased with the quality and we will be looking to order more icons from Athonite USA.
God bless.

My only complaint about these icons is that they make the rest of my icons look lackluster in comparison. The level of detail is incredible and the gold leaf background catches the light very beautifully. Looking at them makes me happy.
