Halos, inscriptions, and ornaments are hand-painted, while the image is varnished for long-lasting protection. The icon is ready for hanging, featuring a leather strap on the back, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Iconography & Symbolism
The icon depicts Saint Lazarus of Bethany (also known as Lazarus the Four-Days Dead), the friend of Christ who was raised from the dead after four days in the tomb (John 11:1–44). This miracle foreshadowed the Resurrection of Christ and is central in Orthodox faith.

According to tradition, after his resurrection, Lazarus became the first Bishop of Kition (modern-day Larnaca, Cyprus), where he faithfully served the Church until his repose. In icons, he is often shown as a bishop holding a Gospel, symbolizing his ministry, or as the friend of Christ connected to the miracle of his resurrection.

Feast Day
In the Orthodox calendar, St Lazarus is commemorated on Lazarus Saturday, the day before Palm Sunday, and also on October 17, the feast of the Translation of his relics.
