What MeteoraShop (Icons Axion Esti) is known for

Icon painters at this workshop in the shadow of the Meteora rock pillars have hand-produced Byzantine icons of Christ, the Theotokos, and Orthodox saints since 1997, working in egg tempera and gold leaf according to Christian Byzantine tradition. The range runs from small pocket icons to large commissioned panels, alongside monastery products such as incense and herbal goods.
