Orthodox icon of Saint Bosiljka Rajicic of Pasjane 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. Bosiljka lived in the mid-19th century in the village Pasjane, Kosovo. Her family were peasants and had crops and farm animals. When she was 17 years old, a Muslim Albanian saw her beauty and charmed by her innocence begged her to convert to Islam and be his wife. Bosiljka rebuked his advances and said that she needed no other faith than that of Christ. The Muslim felt offended and kidnapped her and took her to his home. He tried starving her into submission, but to no avail. Failing utterly, further tortures awaited Bosiljka; they held her face above a chimney to choke her with the smoke; threw hot coals on her; tied her to a horse and dragged her to the edge of the town, where he and his friends slowly cut into pieces while she was yet living. Her feast day is on October 13.

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.
