This elegant hand-painted icon honors Saint Eftichia, a noble virgin-martyr of the early Church who suffered for her faith during the persecutions of the Roman Empire. Painted in the timeless Byzantine style with egg tempera and adorned with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, expressing both the grace and the strength of this holy martyr.
Saint Eftichia is remembered for her unwavering devotion to Christ and her refusal to renounce her faith, even under threat of death. Her life is a testament to joy in suffering and the blessedness found in enduring for the sake of the Gospel—her very name meaning “happiness” or “blessedness.”
