An exquisite Greek Orthodox Icon of St. Mary of Egypt, handmade & handpainted by an expert Greek hagiographer.
Saint Mary of Egypt was a desert ascetic who repented of a life of prostitution. She lived during the 6th century, and passed away in a remarkable manner in 522.
The Church celebrates her feast day on the day of her repose, April 1; additionally, she is commemorated on the Sunday of St. Mary of Egypt, the fifth Sunday in Great Lent.
Made using traditional materials (selected aged timber frames, egg tempera, 24K gold leaf, natural powder paint and varnishes) and old techniques, this icon is an exact reproduction of an antique Byzantine masterpiece.
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.
