Christmas, the day when the Savior appeared in our world – great for every Christian event. And in this great holiday there is a wonderful tradition – to give gifts to their loved ones. As the poet said, at Christmas we all some wise men, and, of course, think about gifts for our loved ones. One of the best options for such a gift can be a dimensional icon. Bought such an icon most babies. It is written in honor of the saint whose name was named the baby for baptism. Becomes an icon for special measurements: height board icon on which to write full-length image of the patron saint, corresponds exactly to the growth of the child at birth. This is unique dimensional icons, which, by the prayers of the saint, protects and heals the man with the early days of his life and throughout his earthly career.

Of course, dimensional icon can be presented and adult family members – because we all children of God. Today, our children from tv screens, from the Internet, fashion magazines brought down a shaft of violence and depravity. In these conditions, as repeatedly stressed the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy ii, especially important to protect family values, by all means contribute to orthodox upbringing. And the revival of the tradition-dimensional icons – one way to achieve this goal. Child go to bed feeling under cover of the saint. Even playing in his room, and already starting to indulge in, glancing at the icon dimensional child asks himself how to react to self-indulgence of his saint.

If the child had quarreled with his parents – whom he will talk about his grief? Of course, before his holy dimensional icon. And perhaps, praying before the icon, he realizes that he was in this situation he is wrong and unfair to parents. Thus, the tradition of dimensional icons plays a significant role in the Orthodox upbringing in general. Dimensional icon can be ordered in the same name icon-painting studio, which works in Moscow just a few years, but in this relatively short period of time became known many. Workshop wrote personal, wedding, family icons, but the main areas of expertise, which is reflected in its name – writing-dimensional icons.
