Saint Charitina lived and martyred in the years of the emperor Diocletian and the ruler Dometius in 304 AD, when the great persecution of the Church and the Christians had begun. Charitina was a slave to Claudius who loved her very much and respected her as a woman. As soon as Dometius was informed of the existence of Christian Charitina, he asked her master to send her for interrogation. The Saint was led in front of the ruler and confessed her faith in Christ and as a result she was severely tortured. Then, Dometius ordered to close her in a brothel but Charitina prayed to God to take her soul not to be ashamed. The Orthodox Christian Church celebrates her memory on October 5 of each year. Fragments of the Holy Relic of the Saint are found in the Monasteries of Kykkos in Cyprus and Jerusalem in Boeotia.

My handpainted icons are made from natural materials that constantly interact with their environment. These above materials are sensitive to extreme light, heat and humidity.
Handling the icons should also be done cautiously; oils from our hands can stain their shiny surface. Dust can softly be removed with a pure white cloth.
Following the above simple instructions will guarantee that your icon will age gracefully through time and will be enjoyed by the generations to come.
