This beautifully hand-painted icon honors Saint Nectarios of Aegina, one of the most beloved modern saints of the Orthodox Church, renowned for his humility, miracles, and deep pastoral love. Painted in the traditional Byzantine style using egg tempera and illuminated with authentic 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, capturing the peaceful strength and radiant holiness of the saint.
Born in 1846, Saint Nectarios served as a bishop, teacher, and spiritual father, enduring false accusations with patience and unwavering faith. He later founded a monastery for women on the island of Aegina, where he lived the rest of his life in prayer and service. Countless miracles of healing have been attributed to his intercessions, especially for those suffering from cancer and serious illnesses.
