St. Domna lived at the end of the 3rd and the beginning of the 4th century AD. She was a priestess of a pagan temple in Nicomedia of Asia Minor. The reading of the epistles of the Apostle Paul was the reason to renounce idols and to embrace the Christian faith. From that moment on she lived a prudent life, distributing her fortune for charity. She was baptized a Christian by Cyril, Bishop of Nicomedia. When Emperor Maximian began the persecution against Christians, she was arrested and martyred by beheading. Saint Domna is the patron saint of pregnant women and midwives and her feast day is on December 28.

Care Instructions
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.
