This beautifully hand-painted icon honors Saint Urania, a lesser-known yet radiant saint of the Orthodox tradition. Rendered in the classic Byzantine style with egg tempera and enriched with authentic 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, evoking a sense of purity and celestial grace.
The name Urania means “heavenly,” and the saint is venerated as a symbol of divine wisdom and spiritual clarity. Though historical records about her life are limited, she is remembered for her unwavering faith, modesty, and devotion to God. Saint Urania offers a powerful example of silent holiness and the eternal beauty of a soul united with the Lord.
