This icon presents Saint Cleopatra, a 4th-century Christian saint known for her unwavering faith and motherly strength. After the martyrdom of Saint Varus, Cleopatra brought his relics to her home and built a church in his honor. Her life was marked by devotion, humility, and divine visions—especially after the death of her only son, John, who appeared to her glorified in heaven alongside the martyr.
She is often depicted in peaceful reverence, holding a cross or standing near Saint Varus, symbolizing her role as a faithful servant of Christ and a model of holy motherhood. Saint Cleopatra’s story reminds the faithful of the eternal hope found in God's promises.
