**Description:**
Bring a powerful presence of prayer and prophecy into your home with this fully embroidered Orthodox icon of **Saint John the Baptist, the "Angel of the Desert."** Measuring 11x15 inches, this handmade piece reflects one of the most profound and mystical portrayals of the Forerunner of Christ.
In this depiction, Saint John is shown with **angelic wings**, symbolizing his divine mission as the messenger and forerunner of the Lord, as foretold in Isaiah: *“Behold, I send My messenger before Your face...”* The wings do not suggest he is an angel by nature, but rather highlight his **angel-like life of asceticism, solitude, and unwavering devotion** in the wilderness.
The title “Angel of the Desert” speaks to his unique calling — a prophet living in the barren land, clothed in humility and burning with zeal. His entire life was a preparation for the coming of Christ, and this icon captures the **spiritual intensity, purity, and heavenly calling** that made him the “greatest born among women.”
Fully embroidered with care and reverence, this icon is a labor of devotion and makes a **deeply meaningful gift** for baptisms, name days, or those who carry a special devotion to Saint John. It is also a striking addition to your home prayer corner or icon wall.
