This elegant hand-painted icon honors Saint Cassandra, one of the early women saints of the Christian Church remembered for her deep faith and virtuous life. Rendered in traditional Byzantine style using egg tempera and enriched with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is set on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, reflecting the timeless spiritual beauty of the saint.
Though little may be known historically about her life, Saint Cassandra is honored in Orthodox tradition as a model of Christian piety and devotion. Her name, meaning "she who shines upon men," symbolizes the light of faith and wisdom that radiates from those who dedicate their lives to Christ.
