An exquisite Greek Orthodox Icon of St. Peter the Aleut, the martyr of San Francisco.
St. Peter the Aleut, was a native of Kodiak Island and received the Christian name of Peter when he was baptized into the Orthodox faith by the monks of St Herman’s missionaries. He was captured by Spanish soldiers near “San Pedro” and was subsequently tortured and killed.
His feast day is celebrated on September 24.
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.
