Choosing a Baptismal Icon

Handmade Orthodox Wooden Icons & Gifts | CMT Graphics. The image shows a baptismal icon.

In the Orthodox tradition, a Godparent’s first gift is never just a keepsake — it’s a sacred bond expressed through faith and craft. A handmade wooden icon becomes the child’s first “window into heaven,” anchoring their prayer life from baptism through adulthood. Each piece, handcrafted on solid wood in our Brooklyn workshop, carries both spiritual weight and artisanal care, meant to endure for generations as a reminder of divine love and protection.
