St. Aethelthryth (Etheldreda)

An exquisite Greek Orthodox Icon of St. Aethelthryth, handmade & handpainted by an expert Greek hagiographer.

St. Aethelthryth, also known as Etheldreda, was born in mid-7th century England, most probably around the year 636, as a daughter of King Anna of East Anglia. The king also fathered three other daughters who would follow the same path as Aethelthryth, withdrawing from secular politics to live a religious life, eventually earning sainthood following their deaths.

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.
