This sacred hand-painted icon honors Saint Damien, one of the Holy Unmercenary Physicians, celebrated for his healing gifts, selfless service, and unwavering faith in Christ. Created in the traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and adorned with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved wood, radiating reverence and grace.
Saint Damien, together with his brother Saint Cosmas, offered medical care freely, healing both physical and spiritual ailments without accepting payment—an enduring model of Christian charity and mercy. As protectors of the sick and medical workers, their legacy continues to inspire acts of compassion and service in Christ’s name.
