This elegant hand-painted icon honors Saint Constadia (Η Αγία Κωνσταντία), a noble woman of early Christian heritage, remembered for her deep piety, spiritual wisdom, and unwavering devotion to Christ.
Rendered in the timeless Byzantine tradition with rich egg tempera and adorned with authentic 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, echoing the saint’s quiet strength and sanctified life.
Saint Constadia is often associated with the imperial family and venerated for choosing a life of holiness over worldly privilege. Her steadfast faith amid the early Church’s formative years places her among those revered as pillars of Christian virtue. In iconography, she is typically portrayed with serene dignity, often holding a cross as a symbol of purity and martyr-like dedication.
