St. Christina was born in Tyre of Syria around 200 AD. and was the daughter of General Urban. Her pagan father ordered her to sacrifice to the idols. The Saint refused and as a result Urban tortured her and threw her in prison. An angel of the Lord was feeding her and Christina did not die of hunger. Then, they threw her into the sea. The Saint again managed to be saved with the help of God. After the death of her father, Christina was led to justice by a general named Dion. She confessed her Christian faith and suffered horrific torture. Saint Christina was martyred when Julian's soldiers beat her with sticks and killed her. Her remains were transported to Constantinople and placed in a temple built in her honor. The Orthodox Christian Church commemorates her on July 24 of each year.

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.
