This icon plaque, The Crucifixion with St. Peter & St. Paul, comes from the Cloister Collection, Nelson Gift Wholesale's exclusive line of wood slab icons.

The image shows our Lord being crucified on a tree with the branches facing upwards. Below him are two male saints, likely Sts. Peter and Paul.

St. Peter, the older one on the left, is singing "Salve, crux pretiosa, suscipe discipulum eius qui pependit in te magister meus Christus" which translates to "Hail Precious Cross, receive me a disciple of my master Christ who hung on thee".

St. Paul, the younger man on the right, is singing "Mihi autem absit gloriari nisi in cruce Domini nostri Iesu Christi per quem mihi mundus crucifixus est et ego mundo" which translates to, "But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world" (Gal 6:14).
