This beautifully hand-painted icon honors Saint Constantine the Great and his mother, Saint Helena, renowned as Equals-to-the-Apostles for their foundational role in the establishment and spread of Christianity. Executed in traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and embellished with authentic 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, enhancing its spiritual depth and character.
Saint Constantine, the first Christian emperor, ended the persecution of the Church and convened the First Ecumenical Council. Saint Helena, guided by divine vision, discovered the True Cross in Jerusalem. Together, they are venerated as protectors of the faith and pillars of the Christian world, often depicted holding the Holy Cross between them—a symbol of victory through Christ.
