This elegant hand-painted icon depicts Saint Alexander of Constantinople (Ο Άγιος Αλέξανδρος), a 4th-century bishop and confessor of the faith who played a critical role in the early defense of Orthodox doctrine. The icon is painted in the Byzantine tradition with egg tempera, enhanced with 22K gold leaf, and mounted on hand-carved natural wood, combining reverence with craftsmanship.
Saint Alexander served as Patriarch of Constantinople during the time of the First Ecumenical Council (325 AD), where he stood firmly against the Arian heresy and helped affirm the divinity of Christ. Known for his holiness, wisdom, and theological clarity, he is commemorated as a steadfast guardian of the true faith.
