This unique hand-painted icon depicts Saint Persephone, a rare and ancient Christian martyr venerated in parts of the early Church. Rendered in the sacred tradition of Byzantine iconography using egg tempera and adorned with genuine 22K gold leaf, this icon is mounted on asymmetrical, hand-carved wood—an elegant tribute to a saint whose quiet faith endures through the ages.
Though little is known about her life, Saint Persephone is remembered as a symbol of purity, courage, and unwavering devotion to Christ in times of persecution. Her name, often associated with transformation and resurrection, connects her witness to the deeper mysteries of life, death, and eternal hope in Christ.
