This hand-painted icon portrays Saint Minas (Ο Άγιος Μηνάς), the Great Martyr and Wonderworker, a beloved saint of the Orthodox Church known for his courage, miracles, and divine interventions. The icon is crafted in the traditional Byzantine style with natural pigments and genuine 22K gold leaf, mounted on hand-carved, asymmetrical wood for a unique, timeless finish.
Saint Minas was a Christian soldier in Egypt during the 3rd century. After withdrawing from military service to live a life of prayer, he later returned to boldly confess his faith in Christ during the persecutions under Emperor Diocletian. He was arrested, tortured, and martyred, but his legacy as a powerful intercessor and miracle-worker endures to this day—especially among travelers, soldiers, and the faithful seeking protection.
