Description This is a last minute piece I wanted to get done in time for the release of The Gospel of Judas Iscariot. This is thought to be a 3rd Century document from early Gnostic Christians and I have been looking forward to this event since I learned about it a year ago.

I've also decided to make an Unlikely Icon series of 3 all together, this one being the 2nd and The Archangel Lucifer being the 1st.

This is not an actual icon in the sense that there has never been one of Judas Iscariot made holding his gospel and addressed as "saint". I'm not Orthodox but I greatly admire and respect the style of Greek Orthodox iconography. I actually did this with pencil, pen, and all colors were done in Photoshop. Thank you for the comments!!

Is this an actual icon or did you just make it up. Are you Orthodox btw? What kind of paints did you use? So beautiful.
