St. Olga of Kiev 24k Gold

An exquisite silver & gold Greek Orthodox icon of St. Olga of Kiev.

St. Olga ( 890–925 – 11 July 969) was a regent of Kievan Rus’ for her son Sviatoslav from 945 until 960.  She is known for her subjugation of the Drevlians, a tribe that had killed her husband Igor. Even though it was her grandson Vladimir who adopted Christianity and made it the state religion, she was the first ruler to be baptized.

Olga is venerated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church with the epithet “Equal to the Apostles”. Her feast day is 11 July.

Silver Greek Orthodox icons embody the rich symbolism and intricate craftsmanship characteristic of Orthodox religious art.  The icon is crafted from silver, chosen for its symbolic value of purity and its reflective properties, which convey divine light.

Silver Greek Orthodox icons are unique works of art not only for their artistic value but also for their profound religious significance, embodying centuries of tradition and spiritual devotion within the Orthodox Christian faith.

Made of 950o proof silver and 24k gold on a selected timber frame with the painted parts of the icon painted by hand. Exact reproduction of an antique Byzantine masterpiece.
