In the Christian East, an "egg" is the symbol of Christ's Resurrection. As a chick emerges from the shell, so Christ bursts from the tomb to bring us new life. The tradition of placing an icon on an egg is uniquely a Russian tradition. This striking wooden egg, hand made by artisans in Russia, features the Holy Family in bold colors and fine detail. As a work of art, it can be displayed year-round. As a gift, it is an exquisite choice for anyone devoted to the Holy Family. Includes a hand made stand. Made in Russia.
