St. Hallvard was born in Lier, Norway, in 1020. His parents were wealthy farmers and owned the farm Husaby in Lier. Hallvard defended a pregnant woman, most likely a slave, who had been given sanctuary from 3 men accusing her of theft. Hallvard believed in her innocence and took her on his boat. Hallvard, together with the woman, were killed by arrows from the men. The woman was buried on the beach. Hallvard, however, was bound with a millstone around his neck and threw his body in Drammensfjord but it refused to remain submerged and as a result their crimes were discovered. A local village buried him in a Christian manner. His feast day is on May 15 and is the patron saint of innocences and of the city of Oslo, Norway.

Care Instructions
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.
