hello friends, i am new here. God's peace be with you. i am looking for an affordable replica of an icon. the icon is called "Christ with St. Menas". i have also seen it called "Menas with Christ" and have also seen the various spellings of the saint's name. i understand that this icon is from perhaps the 4th century and is among the oldest known Xtian art extant today. where can i find a replica of this icon? even a small one or a picture or poster of the image would suffice, as it is for my private office (i'm a pastor). love the image; it is very touching and inspirational to me. thanks in advance for all your help and suggestions.

X, as in part of the Greek for Christ. Xtian = Christian.
