The icon is a representation or a picture of a sacred or sanctified Christian personage painted on the back of a glass or wood support. Painting icons on glass was spread in Transylvania and Moldavia nearly 350 years ago, but the first icons were made in the 17^th century. The Transylvanian glass icon painters are known and recognized worldwide for they talent. The glass painted icons through the shining colors and naïve drawing has a deep Christianity inside. It was a time when Orthodox and Catholic Christians venerated the icons and they were showing even honor and respect for these icons, but in our modern society the icons have mostly only a decorative purpose. A glass painted icon has a special meaning for a Christian, but these icons are appreciated by non Christians too.
Leah Olimpia is a talented glass icon painter from Romania; she made more then 200 icons in 10 years. She’s favorite theme is Jesus and Virgin Mary with little Jesus.
