This striking hand-painted icon depicts Saint Lucy of Syracuse, the courageous virgin-martyr who is honored as a radiant example of purity, faith, and spiritual strength. Painted in the traditional Byzantine style using egg tempera and adorned with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is set on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, bringing out both its artistic and devotional significance.
Saint Lucy lived in the 3rd century and dedicated her life to Christ, choosing a path of consecrated virginity and charity. She refused marriage to remain faithful to her vow and suffered martyrdom during the Diocletian persecution. She is revered as the patron saint of the blind and those with eye disorders—often depicted holding a plate with her eyes, symbolizing both physical and spiritual vision.
