Most of the icons found in Orthodox churches have a centuries-old history. For every Christian, praying before an icon is a way to cleanse oneself and pay tribute to God. Miracle-working icons evoke a special reverence, as they are brought out to parishioners before important holidays, carried in processions, or taken to different cities and churches so that as many people as possible can pray before them and ask the Lord for a great miracle.
To preserve the integrity of icons, they are placed in kiots — special glass or a case that protects the icon from harmful environmental influences. While in a kiot, the icon will also not darken from candle or lamp soot. Therefore, ordering a kiot for an icon means ensuring many more years of preservation. Additionally, kiots for icons are a way of expressing our respectful attitude towards them.
The creation of kiots is a true art, as craftsmen use the finest materials in their work, ensuring that the final result becomes a true adornment for the church. For example, a marble floor kiot — the incredible grandeur of this item will not only protect the icon but also please the eyes of the parishioners. The production involves various techniques, as each craftsman is unique in their work, but the end result always amazes with its beauty. There are floor, wall-mounted, and tabletop types. A floor kiot for an icon can be purchased for the home, not only to store the icon but also to use the drawers for storing candles, Holy Water, and lamp oil. When choosing custom-made kiots, you can select a design that best suits your interior and helps create a special atmosphere
