Orthodoxy Pins and Buttons
Description: The "Holy Face" icon is well known in the Russian Orthodox tradition. This icon, also known as "Not Made by Hands" or "The Mandylion", is one of the most important icons in the Orthodox Church. This icon is entitled "Christos Acheiropoietos" (made without hands) and comes from the Novgorod School (around 1100).
Description: It was this Crucifix that Francisco heard said, in the small and abandoned church of São Damião: – “Francis, go and rebuild my Church“. An unknown Italian artist painted it in the 12th century on a cloth glued to walnut wood. It is 1.90 m high, 1.20 m wide and 12 cm thick. This is the Crucifix and the glorious Christ that Santa Clara would contemplate throughout her life, during the entire time she spent in the Monastery of São Damião (1212 – 1253). That is why he will speak so often of the “King of glory”.
