An exquisite Greek Orthodox Icon of St. Rita of Cascia.
St. Rita of Cascia, (1381 – 1457), was an Italian widow and Augustinian nun. After Rita’s husband died, she joined an Augustinian community of religious sisters, where she was known both for the efficacy of her prayers. Various miracles are attributed to her intercession.
St. Rita is the patron Saint of impossible causes. Her feast day is celebrated on 22 May.
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.
