This sacred hand-painted icon depicts the profound encounter between Jesus Christ and the Samaritan Woman at Jacob’s Well, as described in the Gospel of John (John 4:5–42). Painted in the traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and embellished with genuine 22K gold leaf, this icon is mounted on hand-carved wood, reflecting spiritual depth and divine revelation.
In this meeting, Christ offers “living water” to the Samaritan woman (later known as Saint Photini) — symbolizing the Holy Spirit and eternal life. Through this encounter, barriers of ethnicity, gender, and social status are overcome, making this icon a powerful reminder of Christ’s call to all people, regardless of background.
