This graceful hand-painted icon honors Saint Chryssi the Neomartyr, a young woman who bore witness to Christ through her steadfast faith and martyrdom during the Ottoman occupation. Rendered in traditional Byzantine style using egg tempera and embellished with authentic 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, evoking her purity, courage, and spiritual endurance.
Saint Chryssi is remembered for her refusal to renounce her Christian faith under pressure and suffering. She remains a symbol of inner strength, fidelity, and the quiet power of martyrdom.
