This radiant hand-painted icon depicts Saint Margaret of Antioch, a virgin martyr celebrated for her fearless witness to Christ. Rendered in traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and adorned with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, capturing the grace, strength, and spiritual beauty of this beloved saint.
Saint Margaret lived during the 3rd century and endured persecution under the Roman Empire. Known for her purity and unwavering faith, she refused to renounce Christianity and was miraculously delivered from many tortures—including, according to tradition, a dramatic encounter with a dragon symbolizing the devil. She is venerated as a protector of women, especially during childbirth, and as a model of courage and holiness.
