Sts Anne and Joachim icon completed

October 18, 2014:

The icon of Sts Anna and Joachim has been completed. Based on other icons of this composition, fresh foliage has been added to the frame and background, which ties in to the image of the young Theotokos in the center "First-Fruits of our Salvation", along with a disc of the Holy Spirit at the top. The common thread through the icons for this client is that, even though the name inscriptions are in Greek, the textual inscriptions are in English.
