Description

Handmade Byzantine Icon of Saint Olympias.

Saint Olympias was born into a wealthy family and from a young age stood out for her beauty and intelligence. She married Neuridius, prefect of Constantinople, but was soon widowed and devoted herself to the Christian work.

Together with the Archbishop of Constantinople, John Chrysostom, they helped the needy and did great charity work. Saint Olympias received the title of deaconess and founded a monastery with money she allocated.

She died in Nicomedia in 408 AD.

The Icon of Saint Olympias 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.
