Mother Teresa

A beautiful Greek Orthodox icon of St. Teresa of Calcutta, aka Mother Teresa, handmade & hand painted by an expert Greek hagiographer.

Mother Teresa was an Albanian-Indian Catholic nun, founder of the Missionaries of Charity  Born in Skopje, then part of the Ottoman Empire, she was raised in a devoutly Catholic family. At the age of 18, she moved to Ireland to join the Sisters of Loreto and later to India, where she lived most of her life and carried out her missionary work. On 4 September 2016, she was canonised by the Catholic Church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta. The anniversary of her death, 5 September, is now her feast day.

Made using traditional materials (selected aged timber frames, egg tempera, 24K gold leaf, natural powder paint and varnishes) and old techniques.

The icon bears the artist’s signature on the front and the seal of authenticity on the back.
