St. Polyxene was originally from Spain and lived during the period when Claudius I was emperor of Rome. The Saint was abducted by a man who wanted to corrupt her but she managed to escape with the help of God. He was taught the Christian faith by listening to the sermons of the Apostles Peter and Philip. Polyxene, after receiving the holy baptism from the Apostle Andrew, returned to her hometown and worked diligently for the Christian faith. He died in peace at an old age. Saint Polyxene and her sister Saint Xanthippi are honored by the Orthodox Christian Church on September 23 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.
