Monastery Icon Coins are now available

This lovely commemorative coin has an icon of Christ “made without hands” inspired by the famous Icon of Christ treasured in the monastery of St. Catherine on Mt. Sinai on it’s front, with the Slavic cross and the shorter version of the Jesus Prayer on it’s back: “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.”

This zinc alloy coin measures approximately 2″ wide, weighs around 2 ounces, and makes for a lovely gift. Some have even taken the coin and placed it in their icon corner.
