St. Kalliope

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

Saint Kalliope was a Christian saint of the third century AD. She was executed in 250, near the beginning of Emperor Decius’ violent suppression of Christians within the Roman Empire. She is venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church. Her feast is celebrated on June 8.

Made using traditional materials (selected aged timber frames, egg tempera, 24K gold leaf, natural powder paint and varnishes) and old techniques. It is an exact reproduction of an antique Byzantine masterpiece.

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.
