This graceful hand-painted icon honors Saint Hermione of Ephesus, one of the early female disciples and martyrs of the Church, revered for her healing gifts and unwavering faith. Painted in the traditional Byzantine style using egg tempera and enriched with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood—reflecting the strength, dignity, and sanctity of this holy woman.
Saint Hermione was one of the four daughters of the Apostle Philip the Deacon (Acts 21:9), all of whom were gifted with prophecy. She became a physician of both body and soul, known for offering healing through prayer and medicine. Despite facing persecution under Roman emperors Trajan and Hadrian, she boldly confessed Christ and endured suffering with patience, ultimately receiving a martyr's crown.
