This graceful hand-painted icon honors Saint Phoebe, a deaconess of the early Church and faithful servant of the Apostle Paul. Painted in the traditional Byzantine style using egg tempera and enriched with authentic 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, reflecting her noble service and spiritual dedication.
Saint Phoebe is praised in Scripture (Romans 16:1–2) for her role as a helper and protector of the Church, entrusted with delivering Paul’s letter to the Romans. She exemplifies Christian charity, leadership, and the important ministry of women in the early Christian communities. Venerated as a patron saint of deaconesses and women in service, her life is an inspiration for those devoted to faith and ministry.
