Orthodox icon of Saint Apostolos the New Martyr on thick plywood 20mm, which does not sting and keeps its shape over time. Preparation with acrylic stucco and have been used acrylic colors. It has been covered with varnish to keep the colors undiluted in time and humidity. Hanging clip included on the back of the icon.
St. Apostolos was born in Agios Lavrentios of Pelion in 1667. At the age of 15, he became an orphan, and in 1682 he went to Constantinople, where he worked in a tavern. Even though Apostolos lived in Constantinople for 4 years, he took on the cause of his compatriots (about taxation) before the officials, since he knew the Turkish language well. During this encounter, he argued with great boldness for the rights of his countrymen. Because of this boldness, he was chained up on orders of the Voivode, and sentenced to imprisonment for 4 years. While the Saint was ruthlessly tortured, one day he managed to free one of his legs and attempted to escape. Yet the noise of the chains gave him away and he was captured. This made the Voivode angry and he began to beat the Saint with an ax. Having been tortured terribly and slandered, he was condemned to death. He received the crown of martyrdom by beheading on August 16th, 1686, in Constantinople, at the age of 19. His feast day is on August 16.

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.
