This finely hand-painted icon honors Saint Agatha of Sicily, a revered virgin martyr known for her unwavering faith and courageous witness during the early Christian persecutions. Created in the traditional Byzantine style using egg tempera and enriched with authentic 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, lending each piece a unique spiritual presence.
Saint Agatha is celebrated for her steadfast purity, miraculous healings, and protection against fire and illness. She is often depicted holding a palm branch symbolizing martyrdom and the severed breasts she endured, exemplifying her profound sacrifice and divine strength.
