This reverent hand-painted icon depicts Saint Terpsichore, a lesser-known but spiritually radiant figure of the Orthodox tradition. Executed in the timeless Byzantine style using egg tempera and enriched with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, reflecting the saint’s quiet yet profound holiness.
Though historical details about Saint Terpsichore are scarce, she is venerated as a woman of deep virtue and purity, her life marked by devotion to Christ and the heavenly calling of sainthood. Her name, meaning “delight in dance,” symbolizes the soul's joy in praising God and the harmony of a life centered in divine love.
