This unique and reverent hand-painted icon depicts Saint Zeno of Verona, a 4th-century bishop and wonderworker known for his holiness, humility, and pastoral care. Crafted in the traditional Byzantine style using egg tempera and adorned with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, evoking the serenity and strength of this beloved Western saint.
Born likely in North Africa, Saint Zeno served as bishop of Verona during times of both peace and trial, defending the Orthodox faith and offering comfort to the poor and afflicted. He was known for his deep wisdom, his joyful simplicity, and his miracles—especially his protection of the city from floods. He remains a bridge between Eastern and Western Christian traditions.
