An exquisite Greek Orthodox Icon of St. Anastasia the Healer, handmade & handpainted by an expert Greek hagiographer.
Saint Anastasia was a saint and martyr. She is venerated as St. Anastasia the Pharmakolytria, i.e. “Deliverer from Potions” or “Healer”. There is little reliably known, save that she died in the persecutions of Diocletian. Most stories about her date from several centuries after her death and make her a Roman or Sirmian native. Anastasia has long been venerated as a healer and exorcist. Her relics lie in the Cathedral of St. Anastasia in Zadar, Croatia.
Made using traditional materials (selected aged timber frames, egg tempera, 24K gold leaf, natural powder paint and varnishes) and old techniques, this icon is an exact reproduction of an antique Byzantine masterpiece.
The icon bears the artist’s signature on the front and the seal of authenticity on the back.
We can have any image or Christian scene hand made on commission. Please take a look at an indicative list of additional icons available, or contact us for more information.
