St. Oraiozele lived in Byzantium during the first century. At first she was an idol-worshipper, but then she became a Christian when she heard the preaching of Saint Andrew, who baptized her. Saint Andrew permitted her to instruct other women. She was very successful in bringing many of them to Christ. Later, she attached herself to a church dedicated to the Archangel Michael at Revma on the Bosporos. There she converted many pagans. When the Emperor started to persecute Christians, Saint Oraiozele was arrested. She appeared before him and was charged with the "crime" of refusing to sacrifice to the idols. Domitian was unable to persuade her to return to idolatry, and since she remained steadfast in her love for Christ, he ordered her to be tortured. First she was disrobed, and then she was beaten for many hours. Finally, Saint Oraiozele was beheaded and her dead body was thrown into the fire. She is the patron saint for women who are unable to conceive and for women whose breasts do not produce milk. Her feast day is on July 26.

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.
