St. Alexandra was the reputed wife of Emperor Diocletian and secretly converted to Christianity. While St. George was being tortured, Alexandra went to the arena, bowed before him, and professed her faith openly. She was imprisoned on her husband's orders in Nicomedia, then sentenced to death. She was beheaded on April 21, 314. Her feast day for the Orthodox Church is on April 21 or 23, for the Coptic Church April 8, and for the Roman Catholic Church March 20.

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.
