An exquisite Greek Orthodox Icon of St. Phoebe the Deaconess, handmade & handpainted by an expert Greek hagiographer.
St. Phoebe was born in the first century AD and came came from a very busy port area called Cenchreae in Asia Minor. She is recognized as the first woman deacon. St. Paul gave recognition to St. Phoebe, thanking her in public for her hospitality and for meeting the needs of the people in Cenchreae, and urging others to help her with her ministry as “a deaconess of the Church at Cenchreae.”
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.
