This sacred hand-painted icon honors Saint Paraskevi (Η Αγία Παρασκευή), one of the most beloved female saints in Orthodox Christianity, revered especially as a healer of the blind and protector of eyesight. Painted in the traditional Byzantine style with natural pigments and adorned with genuine 22K gold leaf, this icon is mounted on beautifully hand-carved wood.
Born in Rome to Christian parents, Saint Paraskevi devoted her life to Christ and boldly preached the Gospel during times of intense persecution. Refusing to renounce her faith, she endured imprisonment and torture, including having her eyes burned – yet she miraculously healed, becoming a symbol of divine power and unshakable faith. She is known for countless miracles, particularly in healing those suffering from eye diseases and spiritual blindness.
