Saint Euthalia - Byzantine Icon

Handmade Byzantine Icon of Saint Euthalia.

Saint Euthalia converted to Christianity after a vision her mother saw with the Holy Martyrs Alpheus, Philadelphus and Cyprinus, who told her that if she was baptized, she would be cured of the disease that afflicted her. So, together with her daughter, she was baptised a Christian and, indeed, she was cured.

However, Saint Euthalia's brother, Sermilian, enraged by the actions of his mother and sister, tried to suffocate his mother and handed his sister over to a slave to rape her.

With deep prayer and God's help, Saint Euthalia miraculously blinded the slave, but Sermilian managed to kill her before she escaped.

The Icon of Saint Euthalia is an exact copy of Byzantine art and is created by experienced craftsmen using the method of gold printing where hagiographic leaves of 22 karat gold are applied in detail to decorate the background.

During the final processing, the icon is painted with dark red color around the perimeter and polished with a special varnish to maintain its shine.

It is offered in level or recessed wooden surface and is suitable for wall mounting.
