This reverently hand-painted icon honors Saint Julian of Antioch, a steadfast martyr of the early Church known for his unwavering devotion to Christ amidst great persecution. Created in the traditional Byzantine style using egg tempera and finished with authentic 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved wood, lending it timeless beauty and spiritual depth.
Saint Julian lived during the 4th century and endured prolonged suffering for his faith under Roman rule. He was imprisoned, tortured, and ultimately martyred—his body cast into the sea sealed in a sack, from which, according to tradition, it was miraculously recovered. He is remembered as a model of perseverance, inner peace, and unshakable faith in Christ.
