St. Demetria Virgin Martyr of Rome

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

St. Demetria of Rome (d. 362) was an early Christian virgin martyr. Her relics, along with those of her mother and sister, are preserved inside an alabaster urn beneath the high altar of the little basilica of Santa Bibiana in Rome. Her feast day is 21 June.

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.

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.
