This graceful hand-painted icon honors Saint Martha of Bethany, the beloved sister of Mary and Lazarus, and a devoted follower of Christ. Painted 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 saint’s spirit of loving service and deep faith.
Saint Martha is remembered in the Gospels for her hospitality and her confession of Christ as the Son of God. While often busy with the needs of her household, she also demonstrated profound spiritual insight and unwavering belief in Jesus—even in the face of her brother’s death. She is a symbol of active love, service, and steadfast faith.
