This Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd with Lamb Orthodox Wooden Icon presents one of the most beloved images of Christ, the Shepherd who seeks, carries, and protects His flock. With the lamb resting on His shoulders and the staff in His hand, this sacred image expresses mercy, guidance, and the nearness of the Savior in a deeply moving way.
Mounted on solid wood and finished by hand, this icon is created using a carefully applied printed sacred image in the decoupage technique, offering a durable and devotional piece suited for daily prayer and reverent display. Its warm gold background and traditional Orthodox style make it especially fitting for a prayer corner, office, church bookstore, or as a thoughtful Christian gift.
Inspired by the beauty of Byzantine iconography, this work is made with care and respect for Orthodox tradition. For clarity and accuracy, it should be described as a handmade wooden mounted icon made with decoupage, not as an original hand-painted icon or hand-painted hagiographic artwork. A beautiful choice for those seeking an icon of Christ that speaks of compassion, protection, and spiritual peace.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the spiritual meaning of the Good Shepherd icon?
A: The “Good Shepherd” is one of the earliest and most beloved images in Christian art. Based on the Gospel of John, it depicts Jesus Christ as the protector who lays down His life for His sheep. In this icon, Christ is seen carrying the “lost sheep” on His shoulders, symbolizing His boundless mercy and His tireless search for every soul that wanders.
Q: How is this icon made?
A: Each icon is handcrafted in Brooklyn, New York by CMT Graphics. A high-quality printed sacred image is applied to solid wood using the decoupage technique โ a method of layering and sealing the image onto the wood surface for a durable, long-lasting finish. Each piece is hand-finished with care, which means slight variations in color or surface finish are normal and part of what makes each icon unique.
Q: Is this icon a traditional gift for a specific occasion?
A: Yes. The Good Shepherd icon is a favorite for childrenโs bedrooms, Baptisms, and First Confessions. Because it is mounted on a sturdy wood base in our Brooklyn studio, it serves as a durable “Window into Heaven” that can grow with a child from infancy into adulthood.
Q: How should I care for my handmade wooden icon?
A: To preserve the hand-applied finish, simply wipe the icon gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals. Keeping the icon in a stable environment away from extreme humidity will ensure the natural wood and decoupage bond remains preserved for generations.
Q: Can I request a custom size for my favorite Saint, Lord, or Panagia for my home?
A: Yes! Since we manufacture every piece in our home-studio, we can accommodate custom prepaid requests to fit your specific home prayer corner (iconostasis) or wall display. Please email us at shop@cmtgraphics.com to discuss your custom project.
