This exquisite hand-painted icon honors Saint Jerome, the great Church Father and translator of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate). Painted in traditional Byzantine style using egg tempera and embellished with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, symbolizing his scholarship, dedication, and deep spirituality.
