Description

Commemorated On December 17

The Three Holy Youths—Ananias, Azarias, and Misael—were companions of the Prophet Daniel, all from the tribe of Judah. Chosen to serve in King Nebuchadnezzar’s palace alongside Daniel, they were given the Chaldean names Shadrach, Abednego, and Meshach. When they refused to worship the king's golden idol, they were thrown into a fiery furnace. However, an angel of the Lord protected them, and they were unharmed.

The Orthodox Church includes the Song of the Three Holy Youths in its Septuagint version of the Old Testament. This song is the source for the Seventh and Eighth Odes, which are found in the nine Biblical Odes at the back of the Psalter. The Three Holy Youths and the Prophet Daniel are also commemorated on the Sunday of the Holy Forefathers and the Sunday of the Holy Fathers.

About Our Icons (Print and Mounted):

Theophany Works Icons are handcrafted reproductions, made with prayer and a desire for excellence. Choose from our standard mounted option on Museum Quality Paper or you may choose to upgrade to Museum Quality Matte Canvas. Both offer a rich print with saturated coloration and are finished with our high-grade UV protection sealant offering a subtle tactile texture that gives our icons a truly authentic feel while allowing them to be cleaned with a damp cloth. Additionally, each Maple-shelled panel is prepared with a painted chamfered front edge as well as a round-over on the back edge to give a shadow box effect when hung on the wall. Our Icons come standard with a sliding key-hole slot on the back which allows for balanced hanging. These beautiful American-made reproductions will be a beloved addition to any home or parish at the fraction of the cost of a hand painted icon.
