St. Ignatius’ Martyrdom

A beautiful Greek Orthodox icon of the Martyrdom of St. Ignatius, handmade & hand painted by an expert Greek hagiographer.

St. Ignatius of Antioch was an early Christian writer and Patriarch of Antioch. While en route to Rome, where he met his martyrdom, Ignatius wrote a series of letters. This correspondence now forms a central part of a later collection of works known to be authored by the Apostolic Fathers.

St. Ignatius ‘ feast day is celebrated on the 17 October by the Catholic Church and on 20 December by the Orthodox Church.

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 certificate 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.
