Saint Edward was the last King of England before the Great Schism, reigning from 1042 until 1066. He had a deep devotion to the Christian faith, and was known as a living saint. He spent the first 39 years of his life in exile due to the Danish invasions of England, but became king after the death of his half-brother Harthacnut. As king, he brought peace to England. He was known for his generosity to the poor and his mercy for petty criminals. Inspired by a pilgrimage to the tomb of St. Peter in Rome, Edward rebuilt the monastery of St. Peter in Westminster near London, which was the foundation of Westminster Abbey. His feast is celebrated on October 13.

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.
