Orthodox icon of Saint Markella the Virgin 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.
Saint Markella was born and raised in Volissos, Chios, from a pagan father and a Christian mother. She embraced Christianity and when her mother passed away, Markella remained devoted to God but her father wanted to force her to convert. Markella decided to run away from home but her father chased after her (according to many he had incestuous thoughts in mind for her) and wounded her with a bow on a rock near the sea. In her last moments of martyrdom, Markella prayed to Jesus Christ to hide her in the rock, as He did. Since then there are many miracles performed by Saint Markella and her memory is honored with a great feast in Chios on July 22. She is considered the patronage of Chios.

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.
