Description
Fitted with two rings for suspension, a hook, and a hasp, this small icon can be closed and hung round one's neck as a token of piety and divine protection. Open, it can be used as a prayer image. Christ and two bishop saints, most probably Nicholas of Myra and Blaise of Sebaste, bless the viewer with their right hands. The Savior holds an open book with the words "Come to me, all you that are weary" (Matthew 12:28).
