This elegant hand-painted icon honors Saint Callirroe, a lesser-known yet radiant martyr of the early Church, whose name means “beautiful flowing water.” Created in the traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and adorned with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is set on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, capturing the purity and spiritual grace of this holy virgin-martyr.
Saint Callirroe is remembered for her unwavering commitment to Christ during times of intense persecution. Though little is known about her life, her witness stands as a quiet testimony of holiness, chastity, and martyrdom. Icons of Saint Callirroe serve as gentle reminders of the hidden saints whose lives, though not widely recorded, shine with the same eternal light of faith and love.
